Only takes one - like the one that was in our yard during the peak of a rabies cycle when we lived in NY. Confirmed by the health dept, and 3 of us got the shots. But no, I don't think all skunks are rabid. We were just, umm, lucky. The hog-nose skunks around here seem huge by comparison to the others (like the one in the video).
