Worried about a zombie apocalypse? Don't worry, mother nature has your back

A coworker sent me this link and it is a good read

There are a few profane words in the beginning so be aware of that.

Nice read.

According to the article, the only natural lines of defence we'd have over here would be seagulls or maggots.

Unless they're infected with the disease from WWZ (the NOVEL), in which case all animal life, even bacterial, is repelled by them.

This is an interesting read for sure. Though if I were living in an urban area, I wouldn't rely on mother nature to protect me. That's what a 12 gauge and chainsaws are for.

This article assumes that animals couldn't be infected. If that turned out to be incorrect, animals would actually compound the issue severely. By eating the zombies, they would likely be infected themselves and spread the virus even faster, while also going bat**** on humans.

This article is nothing but baseless propaganda brought forth by the fearing and ignorant humans. Come on, not all zombies are bad.

Back when there was only the classic shambling zombie, a la George Romero, to worry about I would have agreed with you. But oh no, some bright spark had to come up with zombies that can run, or use firmarms, or both!

Use firearms I've not seen that one!

Still, they're unlikely to find firearms here, so hopefully my cricket bat will still suffice.

P.S. You've got red on you.

An alternate but more realistic theory of zombies is less global but kind of scary and not contageous. Bath Salts (blamed in causeing a couple of horrible cannabalistic style attacks) + Krokodil (which causes users bodies to rot) = zombie.

I think this thread here just will never be able to satisfy my insatiable hunger for tinfoil hats!

SO.

Like common sense this thread NEEDS waaaaaaay more tin foil hats to satisfy my hunger for tin foil hats...
