Max Brooks is an awesome author!
Depending on the person and the location of the entry point, an
infected person may have somewhere between a few minutes to a few hours before reanimating. Here is a timetable
of symptoms according to Max Brooks:
Hour 1: Pain and discoloration (brown-purple) of the infected area.
Immediate clotting of the wound (provided the infection came from a
wound).
Hour 5: Fever (99-103 degrees F), chills, slight dementia, vomiting, acute pain in the joints.
Hour 8: Numbing of extremities and infected area, increased fever
(103-106 degrees F), increased dementia, loss of muscular coordination.
Hour 11: Paralysis in the lower body, overall numbness, slowed heart rate.
Hour 16: Coma.
Hour 20: Heart stoppage. Zero brain activity.
Hour 23: Reanimation.
