Almost dies in dumpster near distillery

Misty Combs scooped out the wild animals with a shovel and did chest compressions on a baby that had been fully submerged in water

A DUMPSTER-DIVING raccoon that got so trashed on alcohol-fermented peaches it stopped breathing was saved by bighearted Kentucky nurse Misty Combs, who brought the critter back to life with CPR.

"I've had some pretty crazy days on the job, but nothing like this," says the 21-year health care veteran.

"The entire time, I was afraid it'd come to and eat me up, and raccoons carry rabies — so I was afraid of that."
