Solanum is 100 percent communicable and 100 percent fatal.
Fortunately for the human race, the virus is neither waterborne nor airborne.
Humans have never been known to contract the virus from elements
in nature. Infection can occur only through direct fluidic
contact. A zombie bite, although by far the most recognizable means
of transference, is by no means the only one. Humans have been
infected by brushing their open wounds against those of a zombie or
by being splattered by its remains after an explosion. Ingestion of
infected flesh (provided the person has no open mouth sores), however,
results in pemanent death rather than infection. Infected flesh has
proven to be highly toxic. |
