Is this some kind of a bad joke?

If not, then i'd say that this is pretty disturbing.

In the real world, the zombie is actually the result of an infectious disease caused by a mutated cousin of a Myxosporean parasite called "Myxobolus cerebralis". Myxobolus cerebralis is a parasite found among salmonids (salmon and trout fish). This parasite causes damage to the nervous system and skeletal deformation as well as various other abnormal changes among fish. The cause of the mutation of Myxobolus cerebralis which enabled it to target mammalian species remains idiopathic to researchers. Recently, Swiss microbiologists conducting research into this strain of mutated Myxobolus cerebralis, named the parasite "Myxobolus Haemosteomyelitisnarcosa", (M. H.). This nomenclature roughly translates into "blood/bone-inflammatory-stupor parasite".

The parasite affects the central and peripheral nervous systems of the infected (CNS, PNS). Infection results in extremely violent uncontrollable behavior, a hunger for human or animal flesh, and sometimes exhibits an incubation period anywhere from two to twenty-four hours. Survivors of a small Malaysian outbreak of M. H. in 2003 have described the infected as exhibiting symptoms of Rabies, Dementia, and Malaria. Details of the stages of M. H. infection have been documented from various survivors around the world and throughout history. Below is an interpretation of the compilation of findings about the stages of this disease. The entire process does not frequently exceed one hour in recorded cases and experiments, the process is accelerated among children and the elderly due to their generally weakened immune systems.

Stage 1: A human has recently drunk water from a stagnant source containing the parasite or has received the parasite from the bodily fluids (saliva, blood, mucus) of an already infected victim. Within 5 minutes the recipient of the parasite will experience most or all of the following symptoms:

-Deep anxiety

-Irritability

-Violent behavior

-Highly dilated pupils

-High fever (102-105 deg. F, 39-41 deg. C)

-Blurred vision

-Muscle spasms and twitches

-Drooling

-Vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea

-Strong headache and muscle aches

-Strong sense of gained weight

Stage 2: 15-30 minutes past infection time...

-Dementia

-Blindness or heavily darkened vision

-Tachycardia (rapid pulse)

-Strong drooling and foaming at the mouth

-Convulsions

-Hallucinations (auditory and visual)

-Bleeding from the eyes, mouth, ears, and rectum -Blistering, reddish in coloration


Stage 3: 30-40 minutes past infection time...

-Complete loss of verbal functions

-Complete loss of hearing and vision

-Extreme and disturbing bodily convulsions

-Screaming and crying

-Intestinal disgorgement

-Large and inflamed bleeding sores

-Jaundice of the skin

-Eyes covered with milky-white clouds and strongly bloodshot

-Victim collapse, short-term coma begins

Stage 4: 40-60 minutes past infection time...

-Physical mutations occur during coma

-Rapid skeletal and muscular growth

-Body convulsions, closely followed by awakening

-Moans and grunting, nonsensical use of vocal chords

-Victim begins to express aggressive cannibalistic tendencies

-Victim surges with energy and exploits heightened sense of smell to hunt for sustenance

I think it's not Entirely transmittable to humans.

But that's what I think

EDIT:

I googled it,

Myxobolus Cerebralis is a real parasite that causes zombie like symptoms TO FISH

Myxobolus Haemosteomyelitisnarcosa, the parasite that supposedly turns people to Zombies is completle B.S.

Thank god :sweatingb

Well, diseases -can- jump from animal to man, by close proximity.

But it is not something to worry about.
