honestly using ants to beat zombies is a really interesting and cool strategem and it doesn't make zombies "lamer" to make it viable

Far as I'm concerned, all of the zombies that we've seen (except maybe the zombies in 28 days/weeks because they weren't "true" zombies) should fall for the ant thing.

If you're talking about zombies that are actually "undead" as opposed to just people with a rage virus, it's almost always a thing that the "zombie virus" makes zombie flesh toxic to all other animals Zombie Survival Guide specifically says this

It bothers me how little sense this makes unless zombies are literally chlorinated

Undead zombies don't make sense biologically period, like if they're "dead" and not breathing and the heart isn't pumping blood and shit then there's nothing powering the muscles

Zombie Survival Guide handwaves this, saying the "zombie toxin" (Solanum) is like no actual bacterium or virus known to humans, it's something akin to a prion that fundamentally changes the way the proteins of living tissue work

Zombie muscles are "powered by Solanum" in some unknown way, and the whole "brain as weak spot" thing is because the brain has been transformed from an organ of consciousness into the body's Solanum-producing factory

The ZSG/World War Z "universe" tries to be as "scientific" and non-supernatural as possible, but the fundamental "rules" of a Romero zombie *are* supernatural and they can't really get around it The dark implication of how "Solanum" works is it's not a physical substance at all

The Solanum "toxin" is the human soul being twisted and corrupted into pure dark energy Which is why it's "generated" by the seat of consciousness in the brain, and it can only come from humans and infect humans (animals' brains aren't sapient enough to hold it)

There was this one zombie/vampire crossover book I read that had the zombie "virus" be created along these lines Human scientists capture a bunch of vampires for experiments to try to extract and distill whatever substance makes vampires immortal

And succeed in creating a horribly corrupted version of it, which *just* does that but doesn't carry the other aspects of the vampiric curse that keep your damned soul intact and capable of doing the job of a soul
