Here's what I always wonder in regards to this.

--Does the walker blood not carry this bacteria but only their saliva? Since we know for certain they have walker blood to open wound contact often.
--With all the down on the ground face to face encounters with them over the years they'd have gotten saliva in their mouth or eyes certainly by now.
--Does the saliva have to enter the bloodstream directly, maybe it dies when exposed to oxygen? Like the HIV virus does. However oxygen would enter their mouth when they go to bite.
--Bites seem to have a 100% success rate at turning people though unless the limb is cut off when applicable. Maybe they have a way to inject bacteria into people that triggers the dormant infection causing it to turn them.
--If it's just dirty walker bacteria then why even when a recently turned person bites someone they turn, even though they technically are probably still pretty clean.

I think the bottom line is these are just questions we aren't supposed to ask. I gave up trying to figure out the whole biting thing awhile ago. It's doubtful even the creators have an explanation that makes sense.

I haven't read recent posts because I'm still catching up, but if I was a betting man once zombified perhaps there's an enzyme that activates when the body temperature gets too low or the zombie state starts. Then, once bitten, it acts like a phage and activates whatever the zombie thing is that "infects" people. I'm going to guess it is something that lives in the bone tissue, because even being clawed can turn you.

Walker bites just cause some sort of deadly infection. It may not even be the same thing that causes people to come back since everyone is infected anyways and they don't die from it.

[kuronosan]

Everyone is infected with Mono. Not everyone shows symptoms.

[Tyrath]

I'm leaning towards fatal infection since quickly amputating seems to put a stop to it.

THEORY CONFIRMED

[Obsidian]

[Cichy]

Was this their attempt at their own Jon Snow moment?

After seeing the reaction to Glenn being alive on facebook, I really really hope Negan gets him. The tears will be delicious.
