Fear The Walking Dead Reveals Potential Natural Zombie Immunity

 

In the TV show "The Walking Dead," people usually die if they are bitten by a zombie. The only way to survive is to cut off the bitten limb. However, in the spinoff series "Fear The Walking Dead," a character named Alicia Clark was bitten on the arm, had her arm cut off, but still got sick with a fever. Surprisingly, she eventually recovered from the bite.

In the eighth season of "Fear The Walking Dead," it is hinted that Alicia and her family may have a natural immunity to the zombie virus. It is suggested that Alicia's survival after the bite could be due to some genetic factor that makes her immune to the virus. This theory is supported by a character named June, who has been studying the virus and has seen Alicia's unusual symptoms.

If Alicia and her family are immune to zombie bites, they may not be the only ones. It seems unlikely that only one family in the world would have this protection. However, the idea of immunity is very rare and has never been seen before in the show.

It is unclear exactly what Alicia and her mother Madison are immune to. It could be that they are resistant to the bacteria in the zombie's mouth that causes the infection, rather than being immune to the virus itself. Another possibility is that they are protected from the virus, so they wouldn't turn into zombies if they died.

If the show goes in the direction of zombie immunity, it raises questions about how the virus spreads and why zombie bites are usually fatal. Some theories suggest that the bites accelerate the virus already in the victim's body. If Alicia and her family have immunity to the virus, it would explain why Alicia's bite only caused an infection.

Overall, the idea of zombie immunity is speculative and could create inconsistencies in the show's storyline. It remains to be seen if the show will explore this concept further in future episodes or spinoffs.
