All right, it's the zombie apocalypse, and the worst has happened. Maybe you got blindsided, caught in a door, mobbed in a melee, or perhaps that corpse wasn't quite as dead as you thought it was. For the sake of argument, we'll say the bite is on the forearm, between the wrist and elbow, the wound is painful but does not severely impair movement, none of your team (if you are with one) know about your injury, and you have 36 hours before the infection completely overcomes you. What do you do?

Would you attempt some split second surgery? Would you put yourself to an end? Would you leave your friends and go lone wolf until the end came? Or would you keep silent? Any opinions or alternative options post below.

Epic suicide run; get all the guns, weapons, and ammo I can, march out in to the streets and kill zombies until I become infected. When I sense it coming in myself I pull out a grenade, pull the pin, and hold it; when I turn my hand will loosen and it will explode, killing zombie-me and everything else around me. Hopefully in the process I can make sure the rest of my team can escape without losing anyone else.

Yep. Pretty much that. ^.^

Since the virus would travel through my bloodstream rather quickly, only option would be immediate amputation. However, a one-armed person is little use in this situation. I would probably request to be immediately executed on the spot.

I'd try to clean the wound as best as possible, of course... but with no expectation of survival. Only Hope. Give my allies all my supplies, save for a moderately effective weapon.

Say goodbye to my allies, if they wish, join them and assist from a fair enough distance away until it's clear I'm zombifying. If they wish otherwise, it's imperative that good people survive. I go on ahead of them, exposing myself to the hordes of the undead, clearing as best a path as possible. If I can't survive... my friends should.

I pretty much turn into a zombie. So does everyone who is bitten by a zombie. this thread is ridiculous. Can we get a little more thought into these threads please?

If I were bit by a zombie, I wouldn't really know if I were going to turn or not. It could be like in 28 Days Later where the change is practically instantaneous. Or it could be like in Dead Rising or Resident Evil where you can get chomped on fifty times and not get infected. In any case, I'd just go about business as usual and see what happens.

Escapist. New thread. Title.

I JUST GOT BITTEN BY A ZOMBIE!!!! OMFG WHAT DO I DO NOW?!?!?!

After an hour or two of replying, I'll go blow myself up to kingdom come. Hopefully in the middle of a mob of my soon to be undead colleagues.

Probable say my goodbyes to anyone I like in my group, go outside with some sturdy weapon (no guns, the non-infected still need those more then me) and bash as much zombies as I could before being overrun or turning. Hopefully it will give my team time to get out of dodge and find a new safer hiding spot if needed.

Zombie bit you? BITE IT BACK! Then go about your day like a the most epic guy in the world, basking in the glory of your own glory as passerbyers worship you as the most stoic bastard in the world... until your out of sight of everyone else then quietly cry that its to early and you don't wanna die yet D:

Silly little man. By the time you become a zombie, you won't be able to stomp on shit much less pour salt on anyone's wounds. And ideals? As if a zombie knows anything more than mindless flesh eating...

You don't have to turn into a zombie. You could kill yourself first. Or have someone else--likely someone who cares--kills you.

There. Two different possibilities.

The OP has a lot more actually if you'd like to give that paragraph a read.
