No matter how the virus or parasite was created, an infected person that becomes a zombie will go through stages.
1- A newly infected person still has a complete and functioning body, minus rational thinking. Zombies will probably be able to run and move quickly, but average human behavior will be replaced with violent and swift insanity. 2- After the body dies, which would be because it isn't getting any nutrients or any of the things that an animal needs to live, it will start to decay at the rate of any average dead body. This means that the body and all that it is composed of will slowly die, including muscle tissue, which will result in slower zombies as time goes by. 3- Towards the end, zombies will most likely be almost completely harmless. They will have hardly any muscle and no energy to keep them going. The virus will most likely die soon after, resulting in a finally dead zombie. I really hope I'm wrong though, because if any threat as serious as a zombie were to come about, I hope they won't be able to run. We would have no chance. |

I have stated this in another thread, and would like to finish my research on it before I put up a page, but...
Based on my understanding of Rigor Mortis, the ATP needed in order for the muscles to function would be a liquid. With this said, who knows what circulatory or other liquid systems in the body are still functioning in a Zed in order for them to actually move, let alone bite. As long as fluids stay active, chances are the body will not deteriorate. It is part of the microorganisms that live off of us eating our inactive bodies that causes us to rot away, but only once our fluids stop flowing. With fluids flowing, in order for the body to move (even at a reduced rate or lowered motor skills) the decomposition of a zombie could be well over 25 years or more, instead of the 3-5 year theory. Could even possibly be indeffinite as the microorganisms could leave the body once infected, or just never penetrate as long as they are active. Even look at frozen climates, the microorganisms could not live, so the bodies of 10000 year old cave men have barely decomposed at all...
Do you find this valuable?

as long as they had people to eat they wouldnt rot because, if they can see you, hear you, smell you, then surely there immune system would work because to have senses they must have alot of brain function.
