If the zombies are dead, are they carrying live germs?

What do you mean? Don’t zombies turn humans into zombies by eating them? I would imagine they carry lots of germs. They have open wounds and their insides are hanging out in some of them. I could imagine that would make you sick if they don’t eat you but you came in contact with one. Yuck.

Yes, humans can and are infected by zombies. Zombies dont tend carry live germs but they carry viruses which are particularly difficult to eradicate.

Zombies are not possible but, suppose for some reason they were, they’re rotting corpses and full of nasty microbes.

I guess it depends on what you call a zombie

Unlike body cells, microbes infesting the body are not dependant on the circulatory system for their survival, so as long as they can feed on the biomass itself, they thrive, and that includes whatever microorganism was responsible for zombifying the host in the first place.

MAGA baseball caps are thought to be a major means of transmission giving direct access to the brain of victims.

There are so many different types of zombies in realty, not to mention fiction and gaming, that I hardly know where to begin.

“Getting infected” can also cover a large number of possibilities – infection by a fictional disease that causes some of the many fictional types of zombie-ism, or infection by other diseases that may be riding along on a dead body (regardless of whether it is a zombie or not), or metaphorical infection by keeping company with people who behave like zombies.
