STAGES OF THE ZOMBIE DISEASE:
The stages of zombie transformation are the same that occur in vampires, with two major differences: in zombies, the onset of symptoms and transformation occurs much faster and has no relation to the cycles of day and night.
Stage One: Infection. Symptoms of zombie infection appear quickly: within one or two hours, the victim will develop a headache, fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms. Zombie infections last about half as long as their vampiric counterparts, mostly between three and six hours, during which the vaccine is 100 percent effective.
Stage Two: Coma. Zombie comas are considerably more brief than vampiric comas. While physiological changes-slow pulse, shallow breathing-are similar, the coma lasts only between four and six hours. Only the very young and very old do not survive zombie comas. Zombies have been found as young as five years old and as old as 90. As with vampires, the vaccine is 50 percent effective when administered during Stage Two of the infection: the longer the victim has been in the coma, the less effective the vaccine.
Stage Three: Transformation. Zombies awaken from their comas in a catatonic state. They are unresponsive to most stimuli as they shuffle about, trying to locate their prey. Unlike vampires, there is no acclimation period; a zombie will begin hunting immediately upon transformation.

Zombie infection diagnosis, and initial treatment programme.
ReplyDeletePeople rapidly being infected by an unknown flue-like contagion have probably been bitten by zombies. Symptoms of zombie infection appear quickly: within one or two hours, and maybe less if the victim been exercising or having rough sex before he or she was infected. The victim who has been bitten by a zombie will develop a pounding headache, fever, chills, cold sweats, vomiting, and other flu-like symptoms, he or she may even start to sneeze blood out of his or her nostrils before entering a comatose state.
Zombie infections last about as long as their Asian Bird Flue counterparts, mostly between three and six hours before it completely takes over the individual infected, during which time the vaccines produced should help relax the victim before he or she can be beheaded befor becoming a full-blown zombie: In full-blown cases of zombieism, the onset of symptoms and final transformation occurs much faster and has no relation to the menstral cycles, usual sleep patterns, or what time of day or night it is.
Zombie comas are considerably briefer than Asian Bird Flue comas. While physiological changes – slow pulse, and shallow breathing – are similar, the coma lasts only between four and six hours, then to all intents and purposes the victim is actually a bona-fide zombie and wakes up almost straight away after actual bodily death. Only the very young and very old do not survive zombie comas, luckily, they mostly just die and do not wake up again as fully-fledged zombies. However, in certain unusual cases, zombies have been found as young as five years old and as old as 90, but it is a great rarity.
As with those infected by a virulent strain of Asian Bird Flu, the Zombie vaccine is mostly ineffective in delaying the development of full-blown zombie attributes developing in the victim. In addition, when administered during Stage Two of the infection, the longer the victim has been in the coma, the less effective the vaccine is in keeping the victim calm and docile until it is time to cut its head off, to save it from a fate that is basically worse than death.
Initially, zombies awaken from their comas in a semi-catatonic state, but do so with a powerful reflex biting action: biting at anything that moves; they become slightly more agitated later, as if they have become insanely hungry. They are unresponsive to most stimuli as they shuffle about, including electric cattle prods, being struck with hatchets, being shot in the torso or limbs, etc., while trying to locate their prey. Unlike those infected with Asian Bird Flu, there is no acclimation period; a zombie will begin hunting immediately upon transformation and will bite anything it can get its hands on.
