<\/p>\n Remember, our definition of a zombie is used from trusted Webster. In this, religious cults<\/a> make total sense because of the possibility of resembling zombie-like activity. Decades ago, there was a religious cult that had to drink real blood from humans. At least, that was the implication was. They were also said to be cannibalistic.<\/p>\n This means that their cult ate other humans, which obviously had human blood with it. This may not technically be what we look to as a zombie but it fits the definition of the term. Not only because of the connection they have to cannibalize their own but also because a real zombie apocalypse could happen if something like this were to become bigger.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While it may seem crazy to assume that a real zombie apocalypse could happen out of something like this, follow us here. It comes down to a few factors. Humidity can make it hard to keep fluids in your system and you could sweat a lot of much-needed water from your body. High Heat Levels make for some intense conditions that, without proper food and water, could be problematic.<\/p>\n Overall, heat has the ability to damage your brain<\/a> and make you believe things are happening that are not really going down. In the desert, you can see things like mirages that resemble an oasis that is nothing but more sand. Due to what heat can do to people, it makes sense to believe they could come off to others like the undead. Look at the appearance of a person who has been in the sun for a long period or that’s nearly dehydrated. Some may also try to kill or eat a human with their brains being so bad from the heat overall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may have heard the story about a scientist who wanted to bring the dead back to life, right? His name was Dr. Robert E. Cornish<\/a>. He is best known for resurrection experiments as well as his use of electricity to force human and dog parts of a dead person to move. As you may know, humans have electricity of sorts inside them even after they die.<\/p>\n If you hit in just the right places with electricity, any part of the body can move pretty much. Now imagine seeing this before knowing that and a person with various electroshock components stands up in front of you, possibly moving. That could come off as a zombie for obvious reasons. While a real zombie apocalypse using this formula may be hard to do, it is at least possible to consider. The right inventor or scientist could make this possible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This situation is a bit out there but you’ll see what we mean by it. For those unaware, a person with Stockholm Syndrome<\/a> happens to be a person that is captured or taken from their families and former life. They may end up being held by their captures for a while and the syndrome may begin to kick in where they start to have a psychological alliance with them.<\/p>\n Essentially, they’ll see them as family members and begin to care for them. If by chance this family was one that got off on cannibalism or acting like the undead to capture other people, the person with the syndrome may end up helping and\/or taking part. Now, they’re part of it all. Imagine if this was done in a mass effort across the world. Starting to see how it could become something of a real zombie apocalypse yet?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Usually, hypnosis gets a bad rap for what it could do. Most of the time, people get a lot of what it can do completely incorrect though. Hypnosis<\/a> cannot make someone do something that they do not actually want to do. Even the best hypnotists in world history could not force someone to do something they didn’t want to do. Therefore, none today could do this either.<\/p>\n Let’s pretend, however, that a hypnotist wants people to become zombie-like figures. They’ll try to hypnotize people and those who want to be zombie-like figures join this man on his mission. While hypnosis is only part of what led them to this, they truly wanted to do it too. The hypnosis just brought it out of them. Either way, it still fits the situation and a real zombie apocalypse could be possible if this is done on the right people around the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You’d be surprised how much sleep has a role in how we operate as human beings. If you ever want to know what it’s like to get to some crazy levels of mental instability<\/a>, try staying up without napping or anything of the sort for one week. What you will find is that you’ll begin having several major mental issues.<\/p>\n See, sleep allows us to heal and it also allows our brains to not so much shut down but go into a rest mode like us. This is critical to allowing you to function properly. Could a real zombie apocalypse happen with a bunch of people who need sleep? It is not exactly the most obvious thing. However, if you begin to have problems making out something real versus something fake, this could lead you to do some horrific things.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those unaware, most developed nations around the world have ended the process of lobotomy<\/a>. Not just because it was horrible but because it proved to cause more issues than it solved. The process of lobotomy was to make an incision into the prefrontal lobe on the brain. This involved often removing small parts of the lobe completely.<\/p>\n The frontal lobe where lobotomies were done is quite important to how humans function and operate overall. This section of the brain affects your personality, expression, decision making, cognitive behavior, as well as social behavior. If someone were to manipulate and control people who were lobotomized, imagine the ramifications of that. These people could easily come across to others as practically dead, setting up something of a real zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It may come across as a simple thing but hallucinations are often at the root cause<\/a> of major problems people have that cause them to commit horrific acts on others. While just having those may not be common, as it is often associated with something more, it is quite clear that they are an issue. In the past, hallucinations led to some Kings to declare war on people and made certain military leaders commit mass murders.<\/p>\n If we’re being honest with that knowledge, we cannot overlook hallucinations as a major cause to people being part of a real zombie apocalypse even if they do not know about it. The Marvel comic book villain Mysterio uses this to force people to do horrific things, even influencing Wolverine to assume the X-Men were enemies. Thus leading him to kill everyone in sight. That said, the power of hallucination could be used in a similar fashion by a real person too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let us explain this one well because it’ll likely be misunderstood from the start. We are not advocating for this sort of thing, but if you want to force a real zombie apocalypse of sorts, this is a great way to accomplish that. Slavery does not have to be the same sort of thing that you may remember the American Civil War helped to end. That had to do specifically with African American men, women, and children.<\/p>\n Slavery has happened around the world with White, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern individuals too. If you wanted something like a zombie invasion to happen, you could force people from all walks of life to do your bidding. This could be done to protect their families, keep a secret of theirs, or to give them something they need. Truly, slavery can involve a lot of things and if done right, slaves could become an army that could break nations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We’re already involving things that would be possible but far-fetched, so why not bring up something that could actually cause a real zombie apocalypse? When it comes to aliens, we’re not just talking about the little green guys from space. Illegal aliens entering a nation could take people from their homes and force them to do things for them. Yet this version of an alien is not exactly the type everyone thinks about.<\/p>\n If we are talking those from space, consider that for a second. It is quite likely that if they made their way<\/a> to the Earth from some random place across the universe, they likely have some killer technology. Their alien tech is something we’d likely have no answer for. If they chose to use something we have no idea how to fathom that turns people into zombies, well that could cause a huge issue. That said, it’s worth a mention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anything kinetic is based around something resulting in or relating to a motion of some type. Obviously, an abnormality is an unusual feature or characteristic in something. Put them together, and anything under the kinetic abnormality section would involve something not normal to the world of kinetics. For humans, this might involve a kinetic disorder of some type. There are very real disorders where abnormalities are found in human kinetics right now.<\/p>\n However, one of the biggest issues is that there is one disorder that could make someone come off as a real zombie. It’s called Darier Disease<\/a>, a skin condition that makes people break out in blemishes that are yellow in color. A recent study found that the mutation that caused this (Ca2+-ATPase) showed kinetic abnormalities that could cause motion issues. Meaning, you could see people look and walk around like a literal zombie. This is only one example too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While you might see the word “chauvinism<\/a>” and think it does not fit, look at the true definition of the term. This tends to be a person who displays aggressive or exaggerated patriotism. However, it also involves the showing or relating to excessive or prejudiced loyalty or support for a particular group or cause. That means an extreme chauvinist could create a possibly real zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n The way they’d do so is by connecting to those with similar ideals. If they wanted to make an impact, they could possibly dress up in costumes and attack people. They could also simply have a belief that is cannibalistic too. Since they are obviously going to naturally be aggressive or exaggerated, and we’re adding in that they are extreme versions of this, one could say that this was a clear possibility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those unaware, syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. Truly, it is a bacterial infection that involves painful sores all over one’s lower extremities. However, it can break out in other areas too. Luckily, we can treat syphilis these days but that was not always the case. If left for people to battle, it can cause things like blindness, paralysis, and even tumors. Some would die from this stuff alone. Others were not so lucky and developed something known as Neurosyphilis<\/a>.<\/p>\n Even those who got rid of normal syphilis can develop this. It causes several issues like a stiff neck, headaches, and nausea as well as problems with walking and numbness. The stuff that makes us worried about a real zombie apocalypse has to do with the walking aspect looking weird, on top of the mental issues it causes. Issues with depression, concentration, and even blackouts occur. Imagine how this could be used in the wrong hands. Add the fact that syphilis is so easy to give others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While some people may not realize it, virtual reality<\/a> has been around for decades now. They used to be exclusive to arcades and nowhere near as advanced as they are today. However, VR is now possible to play in your home and it looks completely amazing and very real. Imagine what could happen when VR gets even more advanced than it is today. People may have random glasses with VR tech or contacts.<\/p>\n Heck, maybe even a signal could be sent to a possible chip that a person puts on their head and allows them to see the world in virtual reality. Yet this could cause a lot of problems. It could make people think they are seeing something they are not, causing them to do horrific things to others. The real zombie apocalypse in this happens to involve tech that a person does not know they are wearing, making them zombies to the world around them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most of the time, poison is used to kill people. However, there is actual poison used in history that allowed people to have control over others. This is not even science fiction, it is science reality. The reason we do not discuss it much is that poison is often used to kill rather than control.<\/p>\n Some poison can give people visions or hallucinations while others can force them to have a sleepwalking condition where they blackout and do stuff they assumed was only a dream. This was most famously used in the mythological story of Hercules where he was poisoned and killed his wife and children in a sort of rage fit. You could possibly give this same type of stuff to several people and that could cause a real zombie apocalypse of sorts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is not so much an attack on humans as much as it is a horrific problem we’re facing. Metabolic disorders are not uncommon in places like the United States. However, they occur all over the world. Those that cause a decrease in insulin sensitivity can actively reduce cognitive abilities and leave people with fatigue and a lack of regulated energy.<\/p>\n On top of this, your fat cells become less efficient at storing and regulating fatty acids. This allows them into the bloodstream and that causes serious health complications. It even increases cardiovascular disease. The insulin resistance is the first step to diabetes, an inability to regulate glucose, and causes obesity. In essence, this real zombie apocalypse involves people getting obese, lacking energy, and dying off early. All while having cognitive issues overall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The problematic condition Encephalitis<\/a> simply means an inflammation of the brain. While that may not be considered a huge problem overall, it is actually quite troubling. Especially if it begins to worsen. The real trouble with it is knowing what actually caused it to begin with. Encephalitis is often attributed to concussion symptoms. However, it’s also caused by various viruses or infections.<\/p>\n One of the many is the herpes-related encephalitis condition. While caused by Herps, it is still rare in people who have it today due to the fact that most of the world has some strain of Herpes in them. This can cause severe disorientation, speech abnormalities, memory loss, convulsions, altered reflexes, hallucinations, confusion, and partial paralysis. It is quite clear that a person with a severe version of this could come across as zombie-like to the average person.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also known as Todd’s Syndrome, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome<\/a> is absolutely insane. It is one of the rarest brain disorders known today and only affects a small number of people annually. It’s usually connected to people who have brain tumors or happen to be involved with frequent drug use. Essentially, the condition affects a person’s perception of the world around them.<\/p>\n Things like Micropsia, Macropsis, Pelopsia, and Teleposia are involved here. Objects around them will appear larger or smaller than they are. However, the person may also feel larger or smaller than they truly are too. It affects most of the senses including vision, touching, and even hearing. Imagine for a second that a person knew how to make this happen to multiple people around the world at the same time. That could cause some truly problematic issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most of the time, when you see neurotoxins on a list like this you expect a number of things to come along with it. Usually, these types of things involve some form of paralysis. However, not all neurotoxins work the same way. On top of this, it also depends on how the toxin is used. One of the deadliest is found in the Pufferfish. Eating this part of the fish has killed several people and continues to do so annually.<\/p>\n However, if the toxin from this fish is applied to the human skin…it is still being absorbed by the body. It will actually make someone go into a death-like state<\/a>. This will then allow a person to “rise from the dead.” If they are somehow given this on purpose and put into this state, then wake up in the assumption that they are dead, imagine how that could be weaponized!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are a lot of smaller devices today, many working off of chips that are no bigger than your smallest fingernail. Funny enough, they are actually getting smaller by the day. Imagine for a second that you could actually use a chip implant in someone and have access to their body or brain. If you have control of their central nervous system, you could force them to do things they do not want to do.<\/p>\n The person could consciously be doing this or you could find a way to put them to sleep. Meanwhile, if you only have access to their brain, you could make them basically go crazy and do the things you tell them to do. Like an inner voice inside their head, similar to a God-like figure. Several mass shooters in the past have claimed the voice of God told them to do what they did. Perhaps a real zombie apocalypse could occur in a similar way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For just a second, consider what microscopic means. For those unaware, micro typically means small. Thus, the invasion would typically be something that would be so small that it is likely unable to be seen by the naked eye. Usually, this has to do with viruses or infections that can pass through the air. However, for this example, we are going to use gas instead. There are several gases that are clear and unable to be seen.<\/p>\n Thus, someone could breathe in a gas that has been released into a home, locker room, etc. Usually, our bodies fight off particles floating around that we could breathe in. Our nose hairs fight a lot of this, funny enough. On top of this, granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes help as well. However, if someone decided to make a gas that could bypass these natural protectors, this man-made gas could create a real zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may not know this, but in America, we keep track of how often someone is exposed to radiation. This exposure happens every time someone has an X-ray, CT scan, and even an MRI. Radiation exposure tracking has been such a big deal that you right now are on a record that every hospital can attain access to. Why do we keep track of this? Simple. Radiation is dangerous<\/a> and has been proven to kill living beings and even mutate them.<\/p>\n Today, we know that radiation can help in treating things like cancer. However, it slowly kills people. Marie Curie, the woman responsible for most of our knowledge today on radiation, died from radiation poisoning due to her massive amount of exposure to it. Exposed to vast amounts, it is possible a real zombie apocalypse could come out of it if people even survive the major exposure they’ll have to endure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While there are many things that can attack the body, a fungus can do more than some think. They can save lives, such as the case of how we discovered what we know now as the antibiotic medication, Penicillin. This accidental discovery by Alexander Fleming saved the lives of millions, with more antibiotics branching off of it. Yet fungi have also taken lives as well, putting through some severe illnesses. One of them is known as Fungal Meningitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Isometric](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1184636995.jpg\")
