    You think they are real? If so and the zombie apocalypse does occur how long will you live?

    Real life zombies aren't the film zombies. Its something thats been built up from what used to happen.

    For instance, in voodoo when it appears someone is dead. They get buried/ are lying in a morgue/whatever then wake up a few days later. Basically they're under some form of mind control, so they'll start biting/killing etc.

    How long would I live? Hmm depends on the food supply. I've resisted the temptation to stock up... :-/

    No, not the hollywood walking dead zombies. Maybe if rabies got out of control we'd have a problem, but it wouldn't last forever because rabies is fatal.

    Myth: Rabies is not always fatal to humans.
    Reality: Rabies is ALWAYS fatal if prophylactic injections are not started within 24-48 hours of being infected.

    Not really a myth...

    I have never heard this myth about rabies not being fatal to humans, I have always known it IS fatal.

    Next time you go ANYWHERE-look around. Now ask that again.


    There is a case of one known person surviving rabies without shots. Read about it some place a while back.

    Technological zombies, true, glued to their phones, their computers, and their gaming systems as though a real world does not exist around them.

    It IS fatal IF you do not receive prophylactic injections within 24-48 hours of being infected. So, I guess it once WAS always fatal - but not anymore.

    The myth they say is out there is:
    Myth: Rabies is not always fatal to humans.

    ...and then say it is not always fatal to humans.

    o_O

    Very odd.

    I felt that went without saying that it was fatal without treatment. That's why I was confused as to why you quoted me. What I said was "if rabies got out of control". Control implies treatment.
