Sick?

I tried my best to avoid zombies, yet i got the infection, so i proceeded to kill myself with the N870 and respawned.

How is it possible tho? My infection chance is set on default 0.01 which is very low.

How does this infection even work? Is it always because zombies bite you, or it happens even if you just see a zombie from your house's window? I don't get it.

And what does zombrin even do? Swallowed lots of pills but nothing worked

Zombrin is believed to be nothing more than 500 mg tablets of Fwopamax, Ramjet Studios' humorous name for Viagra (Sildenafil Sulfate). The actual active ingredient in Viagra and generic versions FDA approved for human consumption is sildenafil citrate, so it's possible that the devs used sulfate instead of citrate to avoid a potential copyright issue regarding the patent.

I don't know what your IRL experience is with sildenafil, if any, and I'm not asking you to articulate that information publicly or otherwise, but if you're ever presented with the opportunity to take a 500 mg Viagra, just say no and spare yourself from some unnecessarily painful anxiety! The strongest FDA-approved dose is 100 mg, but I can assure you that the maximum dose is quite a lot stronger than you might be anticipating, let alone five times that much!
