HOW Could a Virus Cause The Zombification...
Feb 21 2008, 3:39 PM EST IF the zombie disorder was a virus it would only be contagious before the person reacted with symptons secondly the virus would take over cells and then destroy them i purpose it is a combination of a more aggressive form of aids and mad cow disease with a touch of hypetitis this would explain why it is in the body fluids and meat finally the disease would attack the logicing part of the brain causing the infected to use raw emotion rather then the intelligent parts finally it would isolate the part of the brain causing anger and pumping organs full of adreniline forming a nearly invincible unintelligent angry beast wich could survive most if not all enviroments! 2 out of 5 found this valuable.

Feb 21 2008, 10:19 PM EST I say we would be dealing with a parasitic organism, I say this because a virus in itself is not in any way shape or form intelligent. a parasite would be able to control brain function to the extent of walking and would also control the host forcing it to feed one thing that we all need to think about though is blood flow, in order for muscles to function they need water, fuel, and power. this just isnt possible without the function of the cardiovascular system. now if a parasite could take over full brain function it could in theory create a living Zombie. also the easiest way to transmit a parasite due to its size is through exposure to saliva or feces. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Feb 23 2008, 1:25 AM EST good point however why is it the parasite has to control the body? why cant the parasite just cause the person to lose conscious decision making in other words a bug that just makes the person have no ability to control there needs they eat what they can when they can! 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Jun 5 2008, 1:11 PM EDT There are various parasites that alter the host behavior in a way that increases the odds of the parasites spread. Some have already been mentioned on this board and there are probably others we do not know about at this point. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
