How do you know you have been bitten?

If you have been bitten, it may have been a zombie or a crazy hobo. To tell the difference, look at the bite mark. If the arrangement of teeth and the bite vary and seemed to be strange it may have been a zombie. It may also have been a hobo with poor denture care. If the bite area around the skin puncture begins to become discolored, swell. If you become disoriented or dizzy it is most likely an infection. Do you find this valuable?

To O.P.: Thank you for replying to that page. However, the information you stated is already given by others on that page. Another point is that all things zombie must be offered as theory, because no one knows what is the actual process of zombification. If you had a brilliant new theory as to the answer to the above page, then by all means, post it, but in the case of basically restating as fact what others have guessed , please refrain.

To Whybother: I agree.

To ToK: Mebbe... mebbe not! what if zombies don't really change that much... it could happen! Or if it was dark, and you didn't see the person...

well i mean if in a zombie world do you think hobos knowing that zombies infect people through bites, would bite a person. and if infact it was a zombie it probably wouldnt stop and run so you would have to kill it and then maybe you could tell.

but i mean this is all speculation, this is just my opinion

and noriana i was joking. iread over my first post and its pretty mean but i meant it as a joke though

Arrangement of teeth is not going to tell you anything. None of the zombie archetypes I have come across mention jaw displacement, tooth loss or any changing of the shape of the gums.

Discolouration and swelling are typical symptoms of ALL infections. This is not zombie specific.
