Zombie apocolypse is nigh

We touched a little bit on this during the weekend. I'm trying to find it, but one report I saw said this wasn't the first instance of such an attack in Miami.

Is this how it starts? Reading sporadic reports, and the next thing we know the country is over-run?

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

That's some freaky, freaky shit, though. I would never sleep again if I had seen that. *makes mental note to check zombie preparedness supplies*

[wawa]

I'd heard it was that crap that is packaged/labeled as "bath salts"?

Dude at work told me that. No idea what his source was.

Also I just emailed my zombie team leader to check on the ammo supply. I'm not joking.

(though really I just wanted to ask him when we're going target shooting again...zombie preparedness is a side benefit)

[jaylea]

That is a seriously disturbing story. What was he on? PCP?

[pixy0stix]

I've seen bath salts, cocaine, and LSD in the news reports. Which convinces me that its zombies.

they are.

i think there was legislation passed this session or last that prohibited the sale of "bath salts' here.

i don't know what drug it is though.

It's a manufactured drug, relatively new. It's a huge problem in rural Maine.

well, drugs/medical procedure are a commonly accepted vector for zombiefication.

So it remains to be seen whether this form of zombiehood is transmissible by bite. Watch the news for a story about the guy in the hospital attacking...

I'm 98% joking, but I'd be nervous as shit around that guy if I was working in that hospital.

We've been talking about this on DWP pandce.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dwp&action=display&thread=10827

Toward the bottom, Camelblossom posted a giant list of news/stories that her zombie obsessed friend has compiled.

I'd be mollified if there were more reports about the guy in the hospital, but there hasn't been any updates on him. If it was drugs, wouldn't the toxicology from HIM be released? Or at least something along the forms of an update?

[meshaliuknits]

I just sent the story to H. I told him if there are reports of the dude acting crazy and attacking nurses in the hospital, we're gathering supplies and moving someplace more defensible.


ETA: Wait! No, first I need to know if dude had eyes that were two different colors. We need to leave if he's a Zombie typhoid Mary, too. This would be so much easier if it was the super flu and I just need to meet Mother Abagail in Colorado.

(Who am I kidding? I'd be headed for Vegas.)

The bath salts thing made news around here as well-had some people do so freaky shit on them. One guy burned his arm to the bone while he was on them. They are manufactured, and bear no relation to bath salts (the kind that you put in your actual bath). I was very confused about that for a while.

But that is some terrifying shit right there.

Okay, those stories seem all to be in Florida. Damn old people state

YES, cause I'm already here.

Who am *I* kidding, I'll catch the damn superflu and die. I always get the plague when it's going around.

There was a story not long ago about a guy on PCP who did something similar, except it was to his kid. Pretty horrific.

Was the kid ok?

I just read about this story yesterday. People do some crazy things and sometimes it makes me sad reading about it, but this seems almost unreal it's so bizarre.

About a few months before I left my company in January, we started offering tests for bath salts and K2spice. It's a seperate panel though and expensive. Last I heard only a few companies signed up to have it run for theirs pre-hires and randoms. It's $100 just for the test in addition to their standard 5 or 9 panel where I used to work. It is a growing problem though so I'm sure more companies will get on board to include it in their drug testing.

I just texted DH to let him know we're buying guns. F this.

According to Supernatural, we need a silver knife, right?

Without going into details....no. He survived but was definitely not OK.

Poor kid.

I read one source today that said the face eater was on cocaine and another said PCP. Why is there a discrepancy??? It's making me think it's neither of those. A toxicology report would not be unspecific about the substances found in his blood.

I read another one that said he growled at the cop after he shot him the first time and then kept eating. All the stories said he kept eating.

If zombies were coming, I'm sure we'd all blame drugs, terrorism, gays and meningitis before it would get out that zombies are attacking. Then it's too late.

I bet the ammo dealers are loving this. Buy stock in Winchester and Federal?
