zombie smell factor

[yarri]

Ok its been established that zombies track by smell. We have seen Victor break perfume to block the scent of human . My question is what do you think would work better?

Axe, or manure, they both smell the same.

Although I would prefer to put on the Axe.

And if you had an axe spray, and a lighter, it could quickly turn into a weapon. Huzzah aerosol flame throwers!

Yes and when you sprayed the zombies with your flame thrower the flames would jump onto your Axe covered body and light you on fire as you rolled on the ground screaming in pain from the fire and the mindless brain munchers tearing you apart.

Ok I was thinking bleach but I like your ideas ROTFLAO

at least you'd be kind enough to cook their food for them.

I think the probability of the flames jumping is relatively small. I may or may not know this from experience with axe spray and an open flame.

I question the use of perfume because of the latest fragrances tend to be food scented.. We know they will eat everything. I can't see breaking a bottle of Cotton Candy or Cupcake or melon and strawberry as a really awesome deterrent to zombie sweat tracking.

If you were sure perfume worked (and avoided the ones that are supposed to have human pheromones in them or musk ), you could guess that perfumes work by overwhelming their sense of smell. One zombie smelled a girl hiding in a closet so it must be a very amped ability.

Like the flares destroying the ability of the Guardtower Guards to see the fleeing people--you could work on overwhelming or confusing their abilities. Either that or you could try to completely take out their sense of smell with something that affects it chemically or physically. Cayenne pepper? Bleach? Ammonia? Talc? Garlic? Particulate smoke? The ideal would be something that only bothers them and not the humans. The iternets say Zicam can kill your sense of smell temporarily, but I'm thinking it might be difficult to get close enough to administer it.

Right now they are a little Borg-like, sorta invincible. I'm hoping for a big achilles heel. Maybe they need to experiment.

pepper spray oh awesome.. I agree they need to experiment on ways to discourage their attentions. Thank you for bringing up the pheromone perfume types.

The issue with something like say... a bleach bomb, yes it would probably overwhelm the senses of the zombies but you'd also be tearing up the lungs of the person using it. I know that I personally can not inhale bleach fumes without them messing with my ability to breathe for hours after the fact.
