![]() ![]() Throughout the Romero films, all zombies are hazardous to human life. The effectiveness of this treatment is not revealed, as the character dies of other causes before the infection would have taken effect. In Day of the Dead a limb is amputated and cauterised in an attempt to stop the infection. Also, massive blood loss caused by one of these bites will speed the death of the victim. Multiple bite wounds will make the infection spread all the faster. The interim till death seems to be dependent on the location and degree of the bite (meaning that bites on or near major arteries or veins will spread the infection much faster than small bites or scratches). If a character is bitten by a zombie, they will become violently ill and die within three days. The length of time between death and reanimation seems to vary, but in most instance it is only a few minutes. ![]() No Romero film has definitively revealed the cause of reanimation, but several have featured characters speculating on possible causes, including radiation from a NASA probe, divine intervention, and viral infection. Being bitten by a zombie is not a prerequisite for returning to life, as any deceased human, regardless of exposure to a zombie, will return. ![]() In Romero's Dead series, any human being who dies after the onset of the zombie apocalypse can and will reanimate shortly after death, excluding those who died by massive brain trauma (such as a gunshot wound to the head) or had their brain incapacitated post-mortem. ![]()
