I do have a zombie story but it's taken a backseat to one I"m doing now. And I do feel that zombies are waaaay over done in pop culture right now. When it begins to fade a bit more, perhaps I'll pull mine out and start working on it again. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-10958980239258817952016-09-28T15:15:03.860-04:002016-09-28T15:15:03.860-04:00Goodness!

If a zombie's saliva gets into a wound, you become infected. Their blood must not have the virus. Or if it does, it would have to make contact with a wound and not just the skin.<br /><br />At least, that's my reasoning. That's a great question!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-81099278153016517782016-09-28T13:56:39.961-04:002016-09-28T13:56:39.961-04:00I have no idea.
