#3 Time Heals All Wounds, But Not for Zombies20        Before the advent of antibiotic creams and pills, simple scrapes and cuts were a treacherous endeavor even for healthy-as-a-horse humans. Cuts allow dirt and germs to get a little wiggle room and make their way into your body, but with proper hygiene, including wound rinsing and hand washing, most people eventually recovered from these kinds of injuries.21        While humans have tissues that can regenerate and heal themselves, zombies do not. Their wounds, no matter how mild or severe, are permanent. Imagine, if you will, a paper cut that not only doesn't heal but actually becomes wider and deeper by the day. As the flesh continues to divide, more bone is visible, and eventually, the last drooping flaps of flesh fall to the ground. A small scrape would blister into peels of skin that sag and slide right off of a zombie's body. Skin charred by burns would curdle into a goopy, grimy mess. *1 pointBecause zombies wounds cannot heal, their injuries would only get worse and worse until their body began to fall apart.Humans have tissues that can regenerate and heal themselves, zombies do not.Cuts and open wounds allow dirt and germs to make their way into your body, causing damage.Zombies wounds are permanent.
