    Looks like he cut his own hand though. I’m sure I’ve heard he will keep his hand. If he got walker blood in that cut though…

      Um, thats not how it works. You can’t get more infected than you already are. Everyone already has the virus, so how can he get MORE infected from zombie blood?

        you don’t get more infected, you get AN infection. like rubbing poop in an open wound, with really really intense bacteria. the bites dont kill you, the infection does. not the infection that brings you back to be a walker.

          Bites don’t turn you they only kill you, That being said getting the walker blood in you is supposed to give you the fever as in the comics but the show doesn’t seem to be following that as we saw in season 5 when Sasha cut Abes arm after knifing a walker

    The things we know don’t really work logically.

    A. A bite or a scratch will always kill you, the infection you get from that (different from The Infection, which zombifies you) isn’t treatable.

    Ok, that works. But…

    B. Being covered in walker blood and guts, getting walker fluids etc in your eyes and mouth and in any scratches or abrasions is fine, nothing to worry about.

    That doesn’t really work with the previous one, it’s just an arbitrary rule we have to accept. Mr Kirkman, much as we love him, isn’t a medic or a scientist and I’ve stopped letting it bother me.

    Fine… 🙁 If you get a bite or a scratch you end up with a horrible fever and burn out/die. Yes they use it as camo getting in the eyes and mouth with no ill effects but I would think an open wound with blood mixing with blood would do the trick. Then again as Bastet said, Abrahams hand. Still got me thinking though. Most everything they show us there’s a reason behind it.

    I’ve also had a the discussion with my other TWD crew. Dude the dead are up and about eating people. As much as I love logic… it’s hard to and apply in a fictitious environment where the dead walk.

      As long as there is one element that requires you to suspend belief, everything else is fair game… except for the way that van landed last season, lol!

    This is a great topic for discussion! The way I look at it, several factors come into play to determine the outcome: severity, timing, type of contact…
    Consider Jim.
    He got a bite & it wasn’t all that nasty. He got feverish & who knows how long it would’ve taken him to turn.
    Consider Amy.
    Nasty bite, but died from blood loss & trauma. Quick death. Turned. In fact, a lot of what we see has been/would be death from another cause & turned due to death.
    Hershel.
    Nasty bite, but due to timing & sheer luck, he made it.
    T-Dog probably would’ve gone the same route as Amy & Bob would’ve gone the same route as Jim.
    Now, those are all bites. They’re all infected, so what happens is based on the severity of the wound & probably that person’s immune system. Infection, sepsis… that all creeps up & sets in & it’s just a matter of time, determined by the severity of the bite & the body’s natural process as it attempts to fight it off.
    The SuperFlu of Season 4… immune systems were compromised by living conditions & already having the walker infection probably added to it. So the flu took them out & the infection turned them.
    As for weapons, the difference is a lack of whatever a walker has in their mouth to set things off. It could be that the infection doesn’t really thrive on a nonliving surface like a weapon. Think flu shots & the actual flu… one’s live, one’s not, both can make you sick but at different levels.
    Abraham has been favoring his wound for a while. It should’ve been healed by now, but we’re still seeing blood. So it’s obvious that he’s been affected but his immune system has the upper hand. I bet Rick’s wound is gonna scare the shit out of us for a little while, but he’s gonna come around.

      I must have slept through an episode or something. Abraham’s hand? He hurt his hand?

      • BASTET. says:

        His hand injury goes all the way back to his flashback when he beat the guy who raped his wife. Since then, he’s been kinda favoring it… Rosita wrapping bloody bandages, & then there’s the re-opening of the wound via Eugene beat down.

          Are we just going by the show or are we including the comics in this? In the comics walker blood was used by people to turn others.

          I kept that vague to avoid spoilers for others

            Comic Spoiler Alert!
            With all that I’ve said here, I was thinking specifically about the show. In the comic, as far as I can remember, we never got a determination on the effectiveness of gunked up weapons. The idea was there & acted upon, but we don’t really know if it actually worked. Now, there may be something in there that I’m not remembering… was under some stress over Rick back then.
            SIDEBAR: Thanks for being considerate of not spoiling things for others. Even tho I read the comic, the respect that you just showed for any reader is a rarity & shouldn’t go unappreciated!

            BASTET I believe that our ol’ pal Nicholas suffered a relatively tame slice from a gunk knife and ended up burning out with the fev’

  7. BillyHo says:

    Well we know he doesn’t cut his hand off immediately. As he is seen driving the RV after he cut his hand, and later shooting some Zombies while inside a building. So if he actually thought he was infected and needed to cut it off as he did with Hershel quickly after his bite then we would think it would have happened already.
    .
    Is there possibility of him later cutting his own hand off? Sure, always a possibility of near everything in this show. But probability is that it doesn’t fit into the scenario of when others have cut off body parts in hope of preventing death and turning into a Walker.
    .
    Could be possible he simply gets gangrene in the hand and the new doctor feels like she might need to practice some surgical skills on him? But seeing nothing that shows he himself cuts his hand off due to worry of infection.

    Don’t forget about Negan using weapons covered in walker guts… we never got the outcome if that actually worked but he had a reason to try it.

      I thought about that, too. Was hoping that we’d get sme sort of “a ha” during Fear the Walking Dead.

      I thought people did get sick from the walker coated weapons. Rick didn’t because the arrow dwight shot him with was clean. It’s been while since I’ve re-read that part.

      yeah people absolutely got affected by that. Nicholas died that way trying to get everyone into the mansion at the hilltop.

    I’m going for the rewatch/re-read. I have a bad case of CRS. It’s always good even the 20th time. 🙂
