What about Mosquitoes?

What about Mosquitoes?

What about them?

They're impossible to avoid, and they drink blood. Everyone should be a zombie, unless mosquitoes just don't exist in TWD universe.

Mosquito Man confirmed for true TWD villain

Are you implying that mosquitos drink zombie blood? Only seen a tiger and crabs eat a walker. Stray dogs, birds, fish, and insects don't for whatever mysterious reason.

Why hasn't the sun and the other elements fully rotted and decayed the remaining flesh of the walkers already? Shouldn't they all just be skeletons at this point? That'd actually be spoopier.

are you retarded? do you even understand how zombies work in this show?

You must have not been paying much attention during season two. Everyone is infected and everyone turns, when they dies.

Thought this too. Over the course of the first few seasons the walkers grew increasingly rotten and deteriorated looking, to the point of coming apart very easily. But at some point it stopped.

I'm just saying that mosquitoes drink blood to live, and they bite whatever has blood in it. If a mosquito bit a zombie, then bit a person, wouldn't that person then become a zombie.
Are you fucking retarded?

Traditionally in zombie media it is suggested that zombie decomposition actually occurs in a manner more similar to that of biological disintegration like what happens if you microwave something really, really slowly.

Basically the normal bacterial decomposition doesn't occur, and wild animals that would ordinarily scavenge for carrion avoid infected flesh.

But they also turn if they get bit. It's like that scene in 28 days later, where the dad gets blood in his eye and turns. It's the same concept.

Assuming that whatever the z-virus is called in TWD is transmitted in a manner similar to that of malaria.

But conventionally that's not how it works.

they dont turn because they get bit, like the other guy said they're already infected so if they have a mortal wound or something close to that that can't be treated they're going to turn. its not the bite that kills them its the infection or the bleeding out etc. they're in the zombie apocalypse theres not much anyone can do about a really bad bite so they usually turn
just take herschel for example

One would assume that smaller infections spread slower compared to that of massive amounts of physical violence to arterial blood vessels.

Hell, it's possible that the infection only goes active once the victim is dead or if there were some other trigger.

Best thing you could do would be to induce a coma and keep the patient in low temperature conditions to minimize blood flow.

Thats not really a true.

I dont think this has been scientifically proven in the show, but someone mentioned their teeth being somewhat poisonous...

Thats why mosquitoman cant harm Rick.

They need to do a Crossed show
Zombies are old n gay

their teeth are poisonous because they're mouths are dirty as fuck and rotting, if you get bit its going to cause an infection pretty much guaranteed. it wouldnt matter if a mosquito drank walker blood

It's the saliva. It wouldn't take much to turn the glands into production houses for the virus. It happens in nature to a less sophisticated extent even.

Do you think anything in this show makes sense? I remember Abraham's arm getting cut by a knife with zombie blood on its surface and nothing happened.

He didn't bleed

Abraham is immune to the virus, it's going to be revealed this upcoming season.
