Zombie outbreak in Cambodia

Don't get me wrong, this is a far cry from any Dawn of the Dead type scenario, but non the less, it seems to have really happened.

I looked and didn't see this discussed anywhere. I know the article is two years old but I thought it was interesting.



From BBC News

Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul

Military Forces quarantine Quan'sul
There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.
The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this parasite is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

Here's a link, hope it works

It's not real. I remember when this came out and I think it was around april fools day but I remember it was fake.
