3 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

Presented by : Nicole hordejan

Brain parasites1.

AS SEEN IN…

Resident evil 4

What are they?

Parasites that turn victims

into mindless, zombie-like slaves are

fairly common in nature.

There's one called toxoplasmosa gondii that seems to devote its entire existence

to being terrifying.

How CAN it RESULT IN ZOMBIES?

Hey, did i mention that half the human population on Earth is infected with toxoplasmosa, and don't know it?

Hey, maybe you're one of them. Flip a coin.

Neurotoxin2.

AS SEEN IN…

RESIDENT EVIL 5

WHAT ARE THEY?

There are certain kinds

of poisons that slow

your bodily functions to

the point that you'll be considered

dead

The poison from fugu (Japanese blowfish)

can do this.

The victims can then be brought back under the effects of a drug like datura stramonium.

How can it result in zombies?

This stuff has happened in Haiti; that's where the

word "zombie"

comes from.

There are books about it, the most famous ones by Dr. Wade

Davis

What is definitely true is the

story of Clairvius Narcisse.

He was a Haitian

guy who was

declared dead by

two doctors

and buried in

1962.

They found him wandering around the village 18 years later

the local

voodoo priests

had been using naturally occurring chemicals to basically zombify people and

putting them to work on the sugar plantations

CHANCES THIS COULD CAUSE

A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?

On the one hand it already happened

! So…

NANOBOTS3.

AS SEEN IN…

ALSO SEEN IN…

The ps2 game nanobreaker

WHAT ARE THEY?

Nanobots are a technology that science apparently engineered to make you

terrified of the future.

We're talking about

microscopic, self-replicating robots that can invisbily build or destroy

anything

How can it result in zombies?

Scientists have already created a nano-cyborg, by fusing a tiny

silicone chip to a virus.

cyborgs can still operate for up to a month after the death of the host. 

According to studies, within a decade they'll have nanobots that can crawl

inside your brain and set up neural

connections to replace damaged

ones.

CHANCES THIS COULD

CAUSE A ZOMBIE

APOCALYPSE?

Do the math, peopleSome day there will be nanobots in your brain. Those nanobots will be programmed to keep

functioning after you die.
