Decapitation: It’s an old method but a good one. To kill zombies, you need to destroy their brains. The most surefire route is simply lopping off the cranium with a chainsaw, machete, or samurai sword. Mind the follow-through, however – anything less than 100 percent decapitation will just make them angry.

1a : a will-less and speechless human (as in voodoo belief and in fictional stories) held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated. b : the supernatural power that according to voodoo belief may enter into and reanimate a dead body.

(in stories) a frightening creature that is a dead person who has been brought back to life, but without human qualities. Zombies are not able to think and they are often shown as attacking and eating human beings: He’s just a zombie sitting in front of the TV all day.

If you stub your toe, get an infection and die, you turn into a zombie, UNLESS your brain is damaged. If someone shoots you in the head and you die, you’re dead. A zombie bite kills you because of infection, or blood loss, not because of the zombie “virus.”

Zombies are naturally considered the equivalent of ghosts, so those with an intense fear of ghosts are more likely to suffer from Kinemortophobia. Pop culture is one of the most important triggers of the fear of zombies.

No zombies do not poop. Their organs are dead. They keep on eating until it bursts from their stomachs or out their anuses.

Although choking a zombie will not actually kill it. It does give you a superior amount of control over them and should allow an accomplice to carefully finish the job.

The CW television series Supernatural has Lucifer’s ultimate plan being to unleash a zombie virus, known as the Crotoan Virus, upon the Earth, and to have humanity become ravenous, intelligent, fast zombies which devour and kill each other to cleanse the Earth of humans and to have Lucifer and his angels rule the Earth …

There are 60 days until Zombie Apocalypse.

On Sunday’s episode, a marine tells his comrades he heard the zombie virus was started because of a space spore. Creator Robert Kirkman joked in January that the virus was started by the very same thing.

Being aware of these infectious diseases may just help you to avoid your own personal zombie apocalypse….Symptoms usually progress quickly and may be difficult to diagnose right away:

• Muscle soreness.
• Warm and red/purplish or black-spotted skin.
• Ulcers and blisters that erupt on the skin.
• Fever.
• Extreme tiredness.
• Vomiting.

The symptoms of humans turning into zombies as a result of mad cow include seizures and jerking muscles, delusions and hallucinations, and lack of coordination in physical movement.

But there is also a specific psychiatric disorder called Cotard’s syndrome that can cause people to act like zombies. This is because they are under the delusion that they are dead or decomposing. It remains unclear just how prevalent this condition is, but research suggests that it is a rare occurrence.

Romero-style zombie apocalypse happened in 1599, the night Shakespeare’s Henry V opened — and builds from there.

CONPLAN 8888 also known as Counter-Zombie Dominance is a U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Command CONOP document that describes a plan for defending against zombies. The April 30, 2011 document depicts fictional scenarios of zombie attacks as a means of training students in military planning.

This chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, meaning the deer are exposed to a pathogen (a protein called a prion) that causes holes throughout the brain, making the organ look like a sponge by the time of death.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD), sometimes called zombie deer disease, is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting deer.

Concerns Grow That Infections From ‘Zombie Deer’ Meat Can Jump To Humans : The Salt Chronic Wasting Disease, a deadly neurological disorder similar to Mad Cow, has been detected in 24 states. So far it has posed no risk to people, but a new Canadian study has prompted more testing.

The most obvious sign of CWD is progressive weight loss. Numerous behavioral changes also have been reported, including decreased social interaction, loss of awareness, and loss of fear of humans. Diseased animals also may exhibit increased drinking, urination, and excessive salivation.

If you have your deer or elk commercially processed, consider asking that your animal be processed individually to avoid mixing meat from multiple animals. If your animal tests positive for CWD, do not eat meat from that animal.

Fully cooking venison will kill any tuberculosis bacteria present as well as any other disease causing bacteria.

To date, there is no strong evidence for the occurrence of CWD in people, and it is not known if people can get infected with CWD prions. Nevertheless, these experimental studies raise the concern that CWD may pose a risk to people and suggest that it is important to prevent human exposures to CWD.

Chronic wasting disease is caused by a misfolded protein called a prion. All mammals produce normal prions that are used by cells, then degraded and eliminated, or recycled, within the body. When disease-associated prions contact normal prions, they cause them to refold into their own abnormal shape.

Because prions that cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, mad cow disease) are known to infect humans, there is concern that CWD might also cross the species barrier and cause a novel spongiform encephalopathy. Recent experimental results suggest that CWD prions are not likely to directly infect humans.

These may include:

1. drastic weight loss (wasting)
2. stumbling.
3. lack of coordination.
4. listlessness.
5. drooling.
6. excessive thirst or urination.
7. drooping ears.
8. lack of fear of people.

CWD is a contagious neurological disease that slowly kills every deer, elk or other cervid it infects, and poses a serious threat to deer populations. Therefore, it also threatens the bowhunting industry. Unlike viruses and bacteria, which cause most diseases, a corrupt protein called prions cause CWD.

A prion is a type of protein that can trigger normal proteins in the brain to fold abnormally. Prion diseases can affect both humans and animals and are sometimes spread to humans by infected meat products. The most common form of prion disease that affects humans is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
