Avalon - The squirrels are out of control this year. One almost bit me putting the trash out. Are people feeding them? I've heard they carry rabies.

Moderator's Note: 
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, "Small mammals such as squirrels, rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rabbits, and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to cause rabies among humans in the United States. Bites by these animals are usually not considered a risk of rabies unless the animal was sick or behaving in any unusual manner and rabies is widespread in your area."
