get your stuff together... madness!! run for the hill bunkers!

they're probably busying trying to find a vaccine that will be guarded jealously and only high ranking officials will warrant inoculation.

uhm otherwise everyone in a 300 mile radius would flee to Atlanta to get treated!

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Yep if they are denying it, must be true.

[TN Outlaw]

if there really were Zombies do you think they would let the public know? would cause mass hysteria and Panic that's the only reason they haven't confirmed Aliens IMO so get your guns and amoo ready time for the Real Walking dead!!

[R_Bert]

No doubt. It actually started back in November of 2008.

[TN_Hiker]

I agree. It's not like they'd come out and say "F'ING ZOMBIES GUYS!" and start a panic. Was there every any information on the guy who was having his face eaten? I hadn't heard anything more on if he was alive, dead, undead....

We'd know there were Zombies running the streets before the government made ANY official announcement. And the accounement would only be for the wimpy weenie people who have to be told to wash their hands after they potty.....yeah those people.

[tnhawk]

We all know the government would never lie to us!

My bug out bag is packed and waiting.....weapons are sighted and ready. The hardest part about a zombie apocalypse is admitting that I'm actually enjoying it. Wheres my meds?

[jtmaze]

You know it is going on if the CDC is denying it!!!!!! But do you know where it started? I am pretty sure we see the immune monkey that started the virus on TV all the time. You have seen the movie Outbreak. A monkey that is a carrier of the virus is smuggled into the country, bites someone then they put him on a pedestal in Washington DC.

Man Bites Dog, Eats Dog While High …

..

.

.

A Texas man faces a felony charge after he allegedly bit, killed and ate a housemate's pet dog while high on the synthetic drug "spice."

The alleged attack is the latest in the series of violent and bizarre incidents linked to spice, which mimics the effects of marijuana, and bath salts, which mimics cocaine.

Michael Daniel, 22, allegedly smoked spice in his Waco, Texas home before he assaulted his housemates and then ran out of the house into his yard, where he began crawling around his hands and knees. He barked and growled at a neighbor and chased him back into his home.

Daniel then allegedly took his housemate's dog, a medium-sized spaniel mix, out onto the house's porch. He allegedly beat and strangled the dog, according to Waco Police Sgt. Patrick Swanton, and then began chewing "hunks of flesh" from the animal.

Daniel's housemates called police and requested emergency assistance, saying Daniel was "going crazy." Officers arrived at the house to find Daniel sitting on the porch with "blood and fur around his mouth" and with the dead dog lying in his lap, Swanton said.

Daniel, who police say told his housemates he was "on a bad trip" just before the alleged rampage on June 14, was charged on Monday with cruelty to a non-livestock animal.

The incident in Waco follows a series of bizarre attacks by people allegedly high on synthetic drugs, including a Glendale, Calif. man striking a 77-year-old woman with a shovel last week, a homeless man eating the face off another homeless man in Miami in May, and a man in Milton, Fla. biting into the hood of a police cruiser in February.

Spice and related products have often been sold as incense in packaging that says the contents are not to be ingested, but authorities say they are frequently used by consumers to mimic the effects of marijuana and other drugs.

In a "20/20" investigation that aired in 2011, ABC News found that spice and bath salts were being sold to teenagers across the country with little to no oversight, and many of those young users were showing up at drug treatment centers.

"They think they're dying," Louisiana Poison Control Center Director Dr. Mark Ryan told ABC News. "They have extreme paranoia. They're having hallucinations. They see things, they hear things, monsters, demons, aliens."

Since then, the government has fought to block the sale and usage of synthetic drugs.

Last December, the House of Representatives voted to add 41 chemical compounds used to make spice and bath salts to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, making them illegal to manufacture or dispense.

Last week, a similar bill passed the Senate that would criminalize 26 of those compounds, stripping off 15 of the 17 compounds that are used to make bath salts.

And according to authorities, manufacturers of synthetic drugs are constantly trying to develop new compounds that don't fall under the umbrella banned by state or federal law, making drugs particularly dangerous for users who don't know what they are going to get.

"When people use this, they may use it one time and the next time it's a totally different chemical substance," Swanton said.

According to Dr. Ryan, it's that lack of "quality control" that makes the drugs particularly risky, since some batches might affect the brain's chemistry at a more dangerous level.

"When someone buys these products, they don't know exactly what ingredient they may be getting and they don't know the amount of the substance that's in there," Ryan said. "So somebody may get one batch and get five mg, someone may buy the product around the corner and get 2,000 mg."

Any ideas or opinions on this one?

It is hard to tell, the way the article is written, whether that tx man's friends called the cops before or after the started beating fido to death. I dearly hope they were smart enough to call the cops BEFORE that part of the story unfolded.

I hope the friends WERE NOT so zonked or of such poor judgement that they wait to call while the guy crawls the yard howling-- They still delay while the guy beats the pup to death-- But then after he starts eating the dog, the friends finally act-- "Well it was slightly odd barking like a dog. Perhaps it was strange to beat the dog to death. But now that he's eating the dog raw, reckon that's a little too weird? At least he ought to cook the dog? Maybe we should call the cops and see what they think?" Even Beavis and Butthead would have more sense.

The various "zombie drug" reports of late, sound closest to behavior of people who take belladonna or jimsonweed, or related substances. I had read in years past that sometimes underground drugs would get cut with chemicals from that family of poison weed, to "improve" the buzz, such as atropine or scopalomine. Which was real poor judgement even disregarding that they can poison a person dead as a doorknob. Those kind of chemicals don't get abused for recreation because it is said that hardly anybody is foolish enough to willingly take em more than once. Assuming they survive the first taste.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura Due to the potent combination of anticholinergic substances it contains, Datura intoxication typically produces effects similar to that of an anticholinergic delirium (as contrasted to hallucination): a complete inability to differentiate reality from fantasy; hyperthermia; tachycardia; bizarre, and possibly violent behavior; and severe mydriasis with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days. Pronounced amnesia is another commonly reported effect.

Maybe they are cutting the bath salts with anticholinergics, or maybe whatever weird chemicals they are making coincidentally have similar effects? On the other hand, some reports have claimed that people get those bad trips, but they like it enough to try it again, which is supposedly not the case with belladonna or jimsonweed.

That persistent photophobia symptom mentioned-- Wonder if that would tie in with ancient vampire or werewolf stories? Old midieval "sorcerers" taking the jimsonweed and going on a rampage, then they can't come out in the daytime afterward because the light hurts their eyes? It almost makes sense.

That is how it all starts. Random events and then the madness begins in numbers. The man was tazered and got up running like nothing happened...who does that? Watch tazered individuals on YouTube and tell me if what that naked man did was normal. Something isn't right here.

PCP was said to turn some folks into wild men. Wasn't it PCP that made Rodney King famous? For that matter aren't wild-man drunks fairly common? The Indiana fella most-likely knew how to back-flip before becoming a wild man? No chemical in the galaxy would make me capable of a back-flip.

Non-drug natural Acute Psychosis can be equally severe when it strikes a young fit fellow. About 1970 there was a young fit soldier home from viet nam who had a psychotic break and was taken to a psychiatric hospital where I was working. IIRC they had even managed to get some thorazine into the fella which will usually slow em down a good bit.

The fella decided he wanted to leave so he handily kicked everybody's butt who tried to stop him, exited the building, ran down the grass out back, climbed a tall fence, swam the TN river wearing clothes and boots, exited the opposite riverbank, walked up to the expressway and then hitch-hiked out headed for nashville. Not something you see every day. Wild man indeed.

Maybe among 300+ million people toting video phones, vanishingly rare events bubble to the surface when people start looking for em?

28 days later is looking more an more like a possible scenario

"the chimp's are infected!"

"infected with what?"

pause....

"RAGE"

[ProjectDexter]

So what's the gov't ploy in all this? Allowing (or causing) fear and hysteria to happen in isolated incidents, and then start banning more substances with the general publics approval. Problem is, what happens when they start banning stuff we need? Swat teams and raw milk.

[Guest robin.kempton]

Factor in the FEMA camps which when questioned were to protect the people inside.The question is.....what are the people inside the camps being protected from. There was an incident in California...seems about 16 individuals with the same symptoms as the face eating man in Florida that were causing quite the terror just off the freeway. The California National Guard and the CDC were called in to clean up the mess, just happens a sat. pic. was taken of the encounter. Reports said that they would not respond to commands and had to "be gathered and escorted away to the CDC facility" for treatment.......I'm packing my bags and storing some items just in case this is real and up close. Too many cases popping up with very little to explain the cause of the incidents other than some bad drugs. I'm in Afghanistan right now but the wife and son have bug-out bags at the ready if things were to take a serious turn to the ugly. Enough weapons and ammo to hold off some small to medium engagements and food to make it to a back up site. I never took this seriously until I started gathering the news/video feeds that are surprisingly increasing with so much momentum that its really hard to ignore now.

Well, it seems since the CDC and now Homeland security have jumped onto the whole zombie apocalypse it would seem fair the Army would get their two cents worth in as well. While here in Afghanistan I have stumbled upon an Army Field Manual (FM 999-3) dealing with Counter-Zombie Operations at the Fireteam Level....... I'm sure that its not real but someone spent some time on this and its written in military jargon.....awesome job whoever did it though.....let me know what you think. Go to Google and type in "Army FM 999-3" and you will get the manual. I enjoyed it.
