The Walking Dead made its return last night on AMC. Rick's group of survivors seems to be steadily falling apart.

Everyone living is infected with the virus. That has been firmed up.

Here is my question: Why does being bitten by a walker (zombie) change a living person into a walker?

That makes sense, GR. Thanks for the response.

What is your opinion concerning a person getting Walker blood in the mouth or eyes? Would that also turn a human into a zombie?

Getting Walker blood in their mouth might cause infection, but I suppose that would depend on the amount and length of exposure. Eyes I wouldn't think so.

We've seen plenty of the survivors get sprayed with blood and gore from zombies they've killed without any ill effects, so I imagine that infection comes only with introduction of the contaminated blood directly into the blood stream of a living person.

I see.

Thanks for discussing this with me, GrayRider. I know it's nerd-talk, but I enjoy talking about these things. Now I have a better understanding of the Walker virus and how it works.
