UGH ok, so it's the south but still all the way on the east coast. The worst of it probably won't get this way for a month or so, but with all the travel from memorial day weekend and school ending it could be here a lot sooner. Tomorrow's my day off so I can get my emergency pack together but I'll need to plan my escape route more.

I don't think it should be that bad once I get north of Oklahoma though...

authorities have speculated that the attacker was suffering from "cocaine psychosis".
I thought it was experimental marijuana that made them...
 
This probably could have gone in our other zombie thread.



Man, this is pretty much EXACTLY what Max Brooks says to look out for as the early signs of a stage one outbreak.
It's a good thing he doesn't have twitter, he'd be getting bombarded right now.

Still not sure how one got out, much less made it that far south.

Sorry, folks. Won't happen again.
 
I gotta figure the best route up through the canadian border without hitting too much population.

West Coast> ferry up to Yukon.
West-Central> Saskatchewan but you're probably fucked.
Central> Western Ontario but you're probably fucked.
East-Central> You're fucked.
East Coast> Ferry to Baffin Island.

Dammit, I need to contact my overseas friends and warn them.

After that, I'll wait for news of this shit on this side of the Atlantic...

Perhaps, but I'd suspect the men would get jealous of how well she uses hers.

Really does sound like the beginning of one of those zombie stories. Everyone thinks it's just some crazy druggie. Until it's too late.
 
My sister says she read that the dude was on something called "bath salts" which is a type of LSD or something, and has been known to lead to things like this.
 
"Bath salts" are literally bath salts - the stuff you get in those generic gift baskets when you don't know what to give someone.

Some crazy SOB came up with the idea of smoking them, which causes them to have a SEVERE hallucinogenic effect, similar to PCP. High/extreme pain tolerances, severe irrationality, psychosis... yep... fun times.

And zombie-ism? Holy shit, who would have guessed?
 
Are you sure it doesn't have multiple meanings?

We know, for example, that these products often contain various amphetamine-like chemicals, such as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV), mephedrone and pyrovalerone.
Actually this site says it's both, sort of:

Why are they called bath salts?

"It’s confusing. Is this what we put in our bathtubs, like Epsom salts? No. But by marketing them as bath salts and labeling them 'not for human consumption,' they have been able to avoid them being specifically enumerated as illegal," Horowitz says.

There you go... I guess my intel was a little off, perhaps? It's the same thing with the "Spice" - artificial marijuana. They market it as pot-pourri or incense, and state it's "not for human consumption," which worked to allow it to be sold. At least until GA passed a law making it illegal to sell Spice.
