Zombie apocalypse has been one of the most popular theme in today's film not knowing that the product of fiction could possibly become a reality. The recent science study reveals that a skin infection could possibly lead to a zombie outbreak in the future. See full details here!

 The recent study conducted by the students of University of Leicester in UK reveals that Zombie outbreak is actually possible. According to CNET, the students have calculated the spread of a certain kind of disease through the skin using the basic epidemiological model called SIR; where S stands for number of people susceptible, I for number of people infected and R for number of people who recovered or immune.

The SIR model uses simple and basic mathematic and this model is commonly used in the calculation of infectious disease such as mumps, measles and rubella. According to the student's calculation, the zombie virus is so contagious that it has the 90 percent chance of infecting human in a day that makes it twice fast as contagious as the Black Death plague that destroyed Europe in the 1300's.

Furthermore, the study also reveals that zombies can live for 20 days without brains. Given the contagious rate of the virus and the geographic isolation of the 7.5 billion people in the world, the population could decrease at 181 a day that resulted to 190 million zombies roaming around in the span of 100 days.

On the other hand, scientists has given tips of survival during the apocalypse.
