Wow... and I thought my jokes were in poor taste!
thank you, thank you
When Victor and Pegs went into the Haze Victor didn't start feeling sick until a few minutes later yet they didn't move any farther in. So surely this means that it is not about how far you get into the Haze but rather how long you are surrounded by it.
I would think that it's a cumulative effect. You can stand on the relative edge of the Haze and, over time, the exposure to fewer particulates would eventually have an effect, whereas being deeper in Ground Zero--where you are exposed to a greater concentration of the particulates would have affect you in a much shorter time.
Also, Victor didn't experience any breathing trouble until sometime after Pegs felt sick. Pegs mentions a headache first, then feels nauseous, then later, when Victor got sick, both had breathing problems. Also, probably nothing, Saul mentions a headache when Victor asks if he's alright during their venture into GZ.
Seems the effects of GZ may also be dependent on the individual. Burt's summary of GZ Syndrome , according to Victor and Pegs, starts with Nausea, progressing into something 'welling up' in the throat making it hard to breath. The asphyxia doesn't feel to be due to the air.
It appears that "super" Saul wasn't affected as much by the ground zero haze because of his meds, unilke poor Victor. That's interesting. So strong antibiotics stop the zombie turn over rate in the haze? Will it help them if they are bit or scratched? I guess we wait and see.
we don't know what made saul immune to the haze, or even if the haze causes the zombie infection. yet. if it does, the tinks may have a natural immunity to it, or there may be some other soloution, but tanya said that they tried the strong antibiotics on a turner and it slowed the process, but didn't stop it.
Strange thought. What if the haze was actually the cure--or at the very least, a vaccination of sorts. May explain the absence of the zeds.
