The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: 7 Tips for surviving
By Liam O'Leary
5) Make sure there aren’t zombies in your water
As bad as chemicals, metals, and ordinary diseases in your water might be, there is one thing that is a million times worse: Zombies.
All it may take is one zombie leaking its gross, repugnant, fetid, noxious, rotten juices into your water to not only make you sick (Really sick), but possibly, even turn you into a zombie! Yeah, sure, it might not have done it when Gamma did it in this latest season of The Walking Dead, but…do you really want to take that risk?
What’s worse than that possibility is that, with so many zombies roaming around, it’s extremely easy for any number of them to stumble into any body of water that happens to be in the area.
How do you deal with this? Well, first thing’s first, you need to scour whatever body of water you’re drinking from and make sure there aren’t any zombies skulking around in it, and, if there are, you need to make sure you get them the Hell out of there and then boil the crap out of whatever water you get from that source. That said, you should still be careful of that water, I mean, if it were a lake or pond, something that doesn’t flow, I’d still be concerned about drinking from it.
Another problem one of my fans brought up: If there are zombies in your water…would you want to eat ANYTHING that came out of that water? Would you eat any fish or shellfish that came from waters infested with zombies? I damn sure wouldn’t.
As bad as everything else might be in your water, there’s nothing worse than zombies. They not only pollute the water, but everything in it, and if you find any in your water source, it’s probably time to get a new water source.
