What would happen if you were to bite a zombie?

The zombie would turn into a Symbeline.

Do you get extra lurve? (And why would you want to bite a zombie? They can’t be that tasty.)

It would probably piss him/her off a bit. Do Zombies care about gender differentiation? Why would you want to do that?

@JilltheTooth – I’m just curious. I watched a movie last night in which the protagonist bit a zombie, but it turned out that the zombie wasn’t really a zombie.

You would have to wash your mouth out after tasting rotting flesh.

Ew, @marinelife , I hadn’t even thought about the tasting part. And I say again, Eeeewww.

I’d be grossen out. I may turn into a zombie myself but I would puke several times before.

You turn into John McCain.

The zombie would go into a severe inferiority complex and you would probably have to wash your mouth with boiling oil, because I doubt dettol will do the trick.

The zombie would turn back into a normal human?

You turn into Rosie O’Donnell.

I’m assuming you’d get a really nasty taste in your mouth to begin with. After scrubbing the augrotten flavor off your tongue with gasoline and a brillo pad, I would think you’d have to comfort the zombie and bandage the bite mark.

Salmonella, e-coli, botulism. halitosis?

Totally going to answer this seriously and blow everyone’s fun out of the water. :-P

It depends entirely on the kind of zombie we’re dealing with. The more traditional zombies read: “George Romero” zombies supposedly can only transmit the disease through their saliva, but more modern interpretations of zombies, such as 28 Days Later Yes, I know they’re not dead zombies, but they’re still running around trying to bite/kill as many people as possible so they count can infect people through any bodily fluid. I would say that this is a more accurate representation of what would happen during a zombie attack so I’m going to assume that if you bite a zombie and break the skin, you will also turn into a zombie, but if you don’t break the skin, you’ll probably turn into a zombie anyway because the zombie will turn around and bite you.

You would have to be a bit of a zombie already to even attempt such a thing.

I’ll be late for work.

I’d have an answer, but it would just repeat what @KatawaGrey said.

I did make an observation through watching a lot of zombie films though, that is slightly related to this…

The zombie genre will always have the same, very distinct spectrum; outbreak and the scenarios occurring within. But rules are always added, which makes expand some ideas.

Older zombie flicks center a lot around symbolism. The mythos is simple, and people go by that. The dead rise, and they try to eat you. Get bit, and you’re one of them. But we never know why, or if we do, it’s very limited and never elaborated on. Like Night of the Living Dead. A radioactive satellite crashed on earth. That’s it that’s all. The rest centers around the people as they wonder what the hell is going on, and how to survive. A lot of spiritual stuff comes in, metaphors for different things, or just outright gore. But all this is tied with the simple turning rule. It exists because it can’t be broken. The zombie is fatal because there is no cure.
Nothing happens if you bite a zombie, other than that it probbaly tastes like sheer ass. It’s like the vampire; it needs human blood to survive, and while vampires are constantly fucked to hell, ultimately, this will never change.

Modern zombie movies on the other hand, often concentrate on science, and many of them actually explain how the outbreak went on. Therefore, it’s necessary to add more rules for things to make sense. It was bound to happen that a bite isn’t enough anymore. In 28 Days Later, if zombie blood enters your body in any way, you’re doomed. So, in that case, biting a zombie would turn you, if you drew blood.
Modern zombies get a lot more technical and concentrate on that a little more than the older stuff. So as @KatawaGrey says, it really depends on the source of entertainment…

But to actually answer this a little, in general, within the popular zombie mythos, biting a zombie won’t do anything more than to alarmingly increase your chances of being zombified.

@FutureMemory Hahaha, well if people bit zombies everywhere and they all turned into me…the outcome wouldn’t be much different than a normal zombie apocalypse. XD

Except that I smell nice. :D
