Zombie bite?
Ok so we all know that if a zombie bites you turn, but! Think about it the dead can not produce saliva. Therefore a bite would have no real affect but make you bleed.

Maybe they put some kind of poison from their teeth into the bloodstream. Or maybe they don't.

how do you know its spread through saliva, maybe its spread through flesh on flesh contact, who knows. in any case i would imagine getting diseased rotting flesh in an open wound would be detrimental.

good point but how long does it take for skin to rot? if it takes long then a newly made zombie would not be something to worry about. well just something to think about.

the human mouth contains tons of bacteria. a bite from human can be just as bad as a bite from a zombie.

Bacteria can still live in your mouth. Either way, getting bitten is gonna be a day f**k*r upper.

With or without actual rotting, I imagine that whatever has infected the person did get into their saliva before they dried up, and as a result has been left in the zed's dry mouth. Bacteria, virus, whatever is probably still clinging to the teeth and has no problem surviving once it hits your bloodstream.

I think, as a zombie they have the slightest bit of blood covering their teeth, even if it has dried it could still have the possiblility to infect.

It could be some form of bacteria/virus residing in the blood (a la 28 Days Later) which would infect via wounds on human flesh, much like the transmission of HIV.

Dude, you've got a point. But they might have something in there teeth that affects the blood maybe?

I would have to say body fluid contact, the mouth of said zombie would more then likely be covered in open sores and coagulated blood. The mouth is also one of our only appendages that is capable of brakeing the skin, introduceing contact. I would think more along the lines of 28 days later for infectious contact.

i do believe everyone is on the right track mouths carrie lots of virual infections, a zombies mouths dries out, but it bites some one then they have blood in there mouth which is moister allowing the virus to multiply and the process it repeated over and over. Also viruses can be dormant for days months years, if a scientist finds a site with bodies not matter how old they have to wear masks and gloves not just to protect the dig site, but also to protect from any old viruses that at there laying dorment. Think about it, if you get the flu virus in the morning, by early afternoon your feeling it.
