Skinning that one was a dumb move, far as I'm concerned. It could have been the 'or worse'.....
It may have been sick, and if it was, it was probably distemper not rabies. Skunks can act funny even when they're not sick. I had on gloves so I was not worried about catching something. I have skinned out thousands of furbearers so there is a good chance at some point one of them carried rabies. Knowing how to handle them safely is the important thing.
