From Times Wire Reports
Two people in the Worcester, Mass., area have been bitten by rabid skunks in the past week as a burgeoning population of the normally mild-mannered creatures search for dens for the winter. A toddler was bitten on the wrist as he played in his yard in Auburn, and a 50-year-old drifter who went after a skunk with a baseball bat in Westboro was found dead. Officials say the man was covered with skunk bites, but the bites were not considered the cause of his death.
