How dangerous is the Zombie bite?

Despite what we've seen in movies the Zombies ability to bite isn't all that great. To begin with the human bite isn't all that powerful, we're not well equipped for tearing through flesh which is why we cook and prepare our food before eating. Zombies seem to have lost their instinctive self preservation limits, when they bite down or grasp onto something they over excert their muscles to the point of breaking. Over time this causes great damage to the muscle tissues in the body which causes them to be weak and slow as their muscles are slowly destroyed.

The real danger posed by the human bite however has always been infection, even in the living the saliva from the human mouth is considered one of the most infectious and dangerous of any animal, a tiny wound from a human bite can quickly become infected. This is also true for Zombies, they do not need to inflict any kind of serious damage to be effective in passing on the virus. After all contact with Zombies do a full body inspection for any new minor scrapes, if any are found immediately separate yourself from any company and quarantine yourself for 2 days.

NB: Zombies have often been observed with damaged teeth, this can be caused by over excertion but they have also been observed biting down on rocks and other hard objects covered in fresh blood. This can break their teeth leaving them with razor sharp edges allowing them to cut skin even if they have lost the ability to bite. This is also true for Zombies with broken off limbs that have exposed bone, the bone is often sharp enough to puncture skin so hey should be handled with extreme caution.
