A New Drug and One Thing in Common

A new drug known as "Cloud 9" is said to be the cause of the Zombie attacks.

A of over the counter bath salts that works like ecstasy is being cautioned as the cause of the recent zombie like attacks. The drug is said to give users extreme heart palpitations, nausea, hallucinations and paranoia. Yet what is not understood is if it is the drug that is creating the cannibalistic behavior and if it is, how.

The One Thing in Common

In the cases that I have researched many of them include either the idea of "bath salts" or an "unknown substance." What this says to this particular researcher thinks is that possibly someone wants a zombie apocalypse and they are "testing their product."

Recent Attacks?

Man Eats Roommate's Dog
Waco, Texas June 26th 2012

Police say that Michael Terron Daniel claimed to be on a "bad-trip" and began attacking his roommates. Daniel then turned and attacked his roommate's dog, He choked the animal then began gnawing on it. His roommates did not press charges.

Man Bites off a Chunk of another Man's Arm
June 21st 2012 Palmetto Florida

"Under the influence" of an "unknown substance" Charles Barker went into a fit of rage biting off a chunk of another man's arm. Just like the case of the "Miami Zombie" Barker stripped off his clothes and was completely naked while attacking. Multiple police attempts to subdue Barker failed.

CDC Denies Existance of Zombies

Despite the increase in cannibal cases, the unknown chemical spills and mysterious rashes, many zombie enthusiasts are staring compelling evidence right in the face. The CDC itself, despite having a zombie preparation part of their webpage available, says that there is basically no chance of zombies.
The one thing that they don't realize is that you don't need the dead to rise from the grave to have zombies. As seen in 28 Days Later the zombies themselves could be created by a virus. This is again being disputed by the  CDC. The newest idea is the prospect that "bath salts" could initially be the cause of zombies. As discussed in a previous post, the increase in cannibal cases can almost be directly linked to this "new drug".
But the evidence above such as the rashes, chemical spills and people chewing and or eating other people, is nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about?
Who are they trying to fool?

UPDATE!
According to a recent CDC interview they commented that they do not know of any virus or any condition that would create zombie like behavior.

If anyone on this site has read through the zombie survival guide on this blog they'd know the CDC is lying.

Things To Look For in the Early Stages of an Outbreak

Symptoms of Infection:
-High sustained fever which is unresponsive to medications and lasts over 24 hours.
-High amounts of perspiration
-Blurry vision
-Disorientation
-Nausea/ Vomiting
-Loss of Appetite
-Mumbling
-Muscle spasms or jerks (uncontrollable)
-Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

All of these symptoms are rapid in their development and may not occur, this all depends on where and how the initial infection took place.

Observations:
-Lack of Animal sounds
-General state of uneasiness
-Unknown illness cases increasing (notice patterns of infection)
-Reports of "Cannibal like" attacks

Survival Packs 101

People don't seem to remember to create a "survival pack" or "disaster plan" when they need it. That's why I am here to help! There are essential items around every house that can end up being a life saver!
These are some essentials for a basic kit:

• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Manual can opener for food
• Local maps (no one seems to think about this)
• Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger

For a long term situation the best thing to remember is "what could be useful?" Things such as rope, scissors, Clorox wipes, gloves etc. are some things to thing about as well! 

The Walking Dead Returns!

In October The Walking Dead will be returning for it's third season on AMC. For those of you who have not seen the show it follows Deputy Rick Grimes from his hospital bed to his family and other survivors (Season 1) to trying to stay alive and dealing with the heavy blows of loss (Season 2).
Season 2 will be released on DVD (from my understanding) in the fall as well. To all zombie fans I highly suggest that you watch the series and or read the comic books! They're amazing!

Update on the "Miami Zombie"

According to my research, though a lot of information has yet to be released on the case, Rudy Eugene was found with no flesh in his stomach. (Meaning that he wasn't actually eating the flesh, he was chewing on it.) Toxicology reported that the "suspected culprit" in this gruesome act was "bath salts". These salts whose chemical makeup mimic that of heavier drugs such as PCP, cocaine, methamphetamine and Extasy are said to be the cause of violent drug induced psychosis which caused Eugene to attack the homeless man. Eugene's ex-girlfriend has also stated that he had been prone to violence and drug use.

Upon even further research it turns out toxicology was wrong about bath salts. He only had THC (marijuana) in his system. I have NEVER read any case files in which a person under the influence of this particular drug has become cannibalistic. Which begs the question, what was REALLY going on with Rudy Eugene?

What I find somewhat odd about bath salts is that despite their chemical similarities with the heavier drugs, there are no documented cases of cannibal like violence while under the influence of these other drugs. Bath salts, which have been created by rogue chemists for years before their sky rocket to popularity as a street drug. So why bath salts? Why are these harmlessly named products causing these violent outbursts that have produced cannibal-like behavior? Something tells me there's more than meets the eye with this new "drug".

Toxic Chemical Spills In Florida & Nebraska

On May 19th, an unknown chemical was released in the Fort Lauderdale airport, sending five people to the hospital. Police have yet to identify the substance. Strangely enough this is not the first case of a "unknown chemical" spill. In the Louisville State Recreational center in Nebraska a train was reported for it's "propane like" smell. The recreational area was evacuated. The unknown chemical substances has yet to be identified. Considering the fact that this happened within a day of each other makes me think that this is not an isolated case.

Welcome to Lincoln Nebraska's New and Improved Zombie Fighters!

Limited Information

The one thing that I find rather odd about strange circumstances, in regard to zombie-like behavior, is that once the initial report has been filed it is difficult to find any further information regarding the case. Stranger still is that the general public seems to ignore the evidence and move on with their daily lives. (Which is all well and good mind you.) But it makes me wonder why? Doesn't the general populace have a right to know what is going on in the world around them? I think so.
In 2010 in Lincoln Nebraska one such case caught my eye. It was on the morning news (1011 channel). A man had shot another man who appeared sick, disorientated and violent. The shooter told police that the other man had tried to attack him and that's when he open fired. The case was reported only once, and no follow up material on the case subject has been found. Then this case in Miami (detailed in the previous posting) over Memorial Day weekend.
Information suppression is something that is common place. Most communities feel that "by letting the public know what is really going on it may cause pandemonium." But I believe that the "not-knowing" should be the thing that causes the uproars, especially when the subject matter is sensitive in nature. A man ate another man's face. A man shot another man because he was going to be attacked. It all seems strange. Don't build "hype" just state facts.
 I have spoken to several people in regards to this Miami case and I will show you what they think of it:

"Did you hear about that zombie in Miami? It's coming. I knew the world was going to end." -Cashier at Shopko, Lincoln

"I seriously think that the government had something to do with it. I mean they are constantly working on things that the general public has no idea of." -Coworker, Lincoln

"Disease, drugs, government, to be honest with you, all of it could be right. Haven't you heard of biological warfare and the Manchurian Candidate? All I know is that one guy ate another guy's face, that isn't normal." -Bus rider, Lincoln

I am a firm believer that one day Mother Nature, the government etc. will figure out a way of population control and like the plagues, human beings will go through hell to survive and prove that they are top of the food chain. Zombies may just be our next great human battle. (I personally hope it is.) But the only way to know for certain what is going on is if we as the general public are allowed to know the details of "sensitive" cases of that nature. Cases like these used to be rare, however in the last few years they have increased. Despite the fact that most, if not all detail is suppressed. So to those of you reading this, do your research. Because I don't want to see any of you mauled and half eaten like that man in Miami!

Natural Disease or Hollywood Fiction?

There is no doubt that Zombies have become a Hollywood phenomena. Movies, TV, nothing seems to be out of the reach of their cold dead hands!
But when it comes down to it, how realistic are Zombies? It is unlikely that the dead will actually rise, science has been trying for years without success. Brain death occurs within the first 5 to 8 minutes after the heart stops and the lungs cease to function. Within nature itself, there are many diseases that mimic a zombie like state. (This is covered in the Survival Guide below) The only other thing that could lead to this type of behavior is deep psychosis, even though there are no documented cases of people consuming others like flesh eating fiends. Something strange has happened though which lends credit to the zombie.


A Miami cop was hailed as a hero Sunday for fatally shooting a naked, crazed cannibal who refused orders to stop chewing on the face of another nude man. Officials said the courageous officer saved the victim from being killed, but the growling, carnivorous culprit left the man’s face mauled beyond recognition.“Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,” Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police told the Miami Herald. Detectives were still trying to identify the victim, believed to be a homeless man, and his flesh-eating attacker Sunday. The name of the cop who shot the maniac was being withheld by authorities. The critically injured victim was treated in the intensive care unit of the Ryder Trauma Center in Miami. Police sources told CBS Miami that the victim’s entire face was eaten in the attack.The Hannibal Lecter wanna-be kept biting the victim’s face even after being shot once, prompting the officer to unleash a deadly barrage of gunfire to stop the savage attack. The shooting happened within feet of Memorial Day weekend traffic zooming by on the MacArthur Causeway, which connects downtown Miami to South Beach. Sgt. Altarr Williams, of the Miami police’s homicide unit, said the suspect was not armed, but that did not make him any less dangerous. “There are other ways to injure people,” Williams said. “Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.” The bizarre, zombie like encounter unfolded at 2 p.m. Saturday on a pedestrian walkway alongside the bustling six-lane MacArthur Causeway. Police said a woman witnessed the two naked men fighting and flagged down the cop, described as a “road ranger.” Another witness, Larry Vega, told local news station WSVN that the attacker “was like tearing [the victim\] to pieces with his mouth.”But the attacker “kept eating the other guy away like ripping his skin,” Vega said. After spotting the suspect on top of the victim — chewing at his face — the officer used a loudspeaker to order the attacker to stop and back away from the injured man, police said. When the suspect ignored repeated orders, the cop opened fire, officials said.
Part of the confrontation involving the cop was caught on security cameras outside the nearby Miami Herald building. The video showed the cop drawing his gun, but his use of deadly force was obstructed by monorail tracks running over the walkway. The video also shows the bare legs and feet of both men sprawled on the walkway, the victim flailing his legs in apparent pain. Cops did not reveal if detectives have determined why the men were both naked. Police sources theorize that the attacker could have been in the throes of “cocaine psychosis,” an effect that heats up a drug user’s body temperature, making him strip in an attempt to cool down. But officials said they won’t know if the nude attacker was under the influence of drugs until an autopsy and toxicology exam are completed. “As with all active investigations, there are many details that cannot be discussed until we have gathered all the facts,” the police department said in a statement Sunday.
“Detectives are still trying to gather details and urging any passersby who might have seen something to contact them.”

This type of behavior does not happen in human society. So what caused it? Disease? Psychosis? Or was it really a Zombie?
Pay attention to the news reports. Strange things are happening!
