well, except for the British Medical Journal

London (AFP) - Are you afflicted by a shambling gait, a tendency to moan and the desire to bite and eat flesh? Watch out -- you could be becoming a zombie, according to the respected British Medical Journal (BMJ).

A new article entitled "Zombie infections: epidemiology, treatment and prevention" details everything from symptoms of infection -- "people may clinically die and reanimate" -- to how "zombiism" is transmitted -- "via bite".

It urges more funding for research into zombie epidemics "to tackle the looming threat of apocalyptic disease".

The study, by Tara Smith of Kent State University in the US, even comes with meticulous footnotes citing sources such as zombie movies "28 Days Later" and "Night of the Living Dead".
