African Zombie Virus

With all the hype going around about zombies over the last decade many are convinced that the concept of becoming a zombie is impossible though real life zombies do exist.  Cases can be seen and have been rarely reported through out the last century of people coming back to life after dying with decreased brain functionality.  Once areas of the brain responsible for reasoning and logic are decayed to point where repair cannot be had a human zombie is formed.  The only separation between a person and a zombie to begin with is a fully operational brain the less usable brain mass a person has the more like a zombie they are.

Africa and areas near Jamaica have had reports of zombies from the local populace scientists found a brain parasite to be responsible.  Simple viruses or illnesses even prolonged exposure to neurotoxic chemicals can cause someone to become a zombie.  Brainwashing can also cause cannibalism and create triggers for people to become zombies on command of the displayed trigger though cases like this are less common.
The tactic is known internationally and used by special forces of several countries.  In the rare case that a person or group of people become zombies they are usually dealt with quickly by security forces and do not pose a threat.

The disease that makes people zombies

But in reality, the complete opposite is true, says Professor Sanjeev Krishna of St George's, University of London and the Wellcome Trust.
At the African hospital where he works in Lucala, about a 10-hour drive from the Angolan capital of Luanda, he see many patients with classic symptoms of the disease.
"At first it will cause headaches, aching muscles and maybe itching.
Nightmarish qualities
"But in the late stages, when the parasites have invaded the brain, the signs become more obvious and ominous.
"Victims find it hard to concentrate. They become irritable, their speech is slurred and they stop eating. After such a point of malnutrition and deprivation the amount of damage to the brain results in the inability for sanity to exist.  Schizophrenic and other types of mental dementia patients are in a similar state of mind though with medication hostility can be reduced.

Maybe zombies are already real and are all around but not properly labelled.  Could one classify any brain damaged or brain washed person as a zombie?  Would someone in the Charles Manson cult be considered one of Manson's zombies?  Would the Nazi party have been considered Hitler's zombie horde?  No Hollywood movie has ever approached illustration of this concept.  After knowing what a zombie really is and that becoming one is not only possible through biological events but also can be done all in the mind without physical brain damage many realizations occur.  Someone reading this could be a zombie right now and not know it. //default pop-under house ad url
