I know there's been a bunch of discussion about being infected by a bite vs guts. It occurred to me from watching Swamp People that being bit by a gator leaves you highly susceptible to infection. I wonder if that could be the angle they're taking with the walker bites.

The walkers are filled with millions of bacteria and viruses (NOT the walker infection one) like E-coli because they’re rotting bodies. So if that stuff gets directly into your bloodstream it will make you very sick. The possible explanation for them dying so fast from the sickness might be that since their immune system is weakened from fighting off the infection the walker virus already inside them takes advantage and takes over.

I kinda thought of it similarly. Bacteria/virus from bites could spread something like botulism toxins for rapid infection type death consequences.

Everyone already has the dormant viral/bacterial infection activated by death, but bites or infection via bodily fluids spread or cause a fatal illness.
