I think its important to note Voodoo zombies are very different from viral zombies. In west Africa and Haiti, zombies are not typically created by a virus but rather a Voodoo priest or Bokor. The Bokor uses special powder which is comprised mainly of two ingredients. The first is Datara a dissociative drug and the second being Tetraodontidae (or TTX) a neuro-toxin commonly found in the Puffer fish. When mixed together and introduced into the blood stream the recipient lapses into a comma like state. respiration and heart rate are severely decreased to the point where the victim is perceived as dead. In some cases the victims body was reported as being ridged as if in a state of rigor mortise. The Bokor would also incorporate special ceremonies to capture the victims soul or zombie astral and trap it in a jar. this is believed to give the Bokor power over the victim and make the victim his slave. A bite from a vodou zombie will not turn you into a zombie, as stated above this is not a viral zombie and lacks the pathogen to infect others. though I would like to note that a bite from a voodoo zombie will most likely cause a serious staff infection which can be cleared up with strong antibiotics. Voodoo zombies don't crave human flesh or brains unless directed by the Bokor to do so. They also don't tend to last very long as they tend to dehydrate or starve to death. There is a great deal of contention as to weather or not voodoo zombies can be classified as undead or just a brain and neurologically damaged victim of a Bokor. In regards to slaying a voodoo zombies, the cheapest and least messy is the use of salt, which is said to sever the connection between the trapped soul in the Bokor's possession and the body, returning the body to the grave. this does not however free the victims soul. For that the container in which the soul resides must be located and opened or destroyed so the soul can escape. Do to the neurological and brain damage of the zombie making process, voodoo zombies do not feel pain. As a result they can withstand considerable abuse. dismemberment while messy, is highly effective. Drowning has also proven to be effective, though difficult,as the zombie will brake its own bones to free itself.
