The shocking naked man’s face-eating case in Miami, Florida, and a series of other cannibalism cases have made many people suspect that there may be zombies in the world. Internet rumors are so vivid that even the federal government has to come out to clarify: These incidents have nothing to do with zombies. On May 26, a 31-year-old naked man named Eugene in Miami ate 75% of the face of a 65-year-old homeless man named Pop. Then on the 29th, a 21-year-old student in Maryland confessed to murdering his roommate and eating his heart and brain. Canadian porn actor Magnotta was recently suspected of raping, killing and eating the flesh of a Chinese student. The police are launching a global manhunt. Many incidents of cannibalism have sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and the term "zombie apocalypse" (which refers to a large number of zombies resurrecting and attacking humans) has become the second most popular search keyword on Google. Gossip website Gawker also pointed to a "mysterious rash" outbreak at a Florida high school that even disease control authorities could not explain, as further evidence that zombies are taking over the world.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has repeatedly used "Zombie Apocalypse" as an eye-catching title when promoting disaster prevention knowledge. However, the CDC officially stated this time: Zombies do not exist. CDC spokesman Daigle wrote to the Huffington Post website: "The Center is not aware of viruses or diseases that can bring people back from the dead or cause zombie-like symptoms." Humans have observed zombie-like behavior in the animal kingdom. Ophiocordyceps camponoti-balzani, a newly discovered fungus in the Brazilian rainforest, can control the heads of ants, allowing them to move to locations suitable for the growth of this type of fungus, and then kill the ants after achieving their goal. The Miami police suspect that face-eating man Eugene may have committed the crime by taking the psychedelic drug "bath salts." The House of Representatives is considering classifying "bath salts" as a drug on the same level as heroin and ergot diethylamine (LSD). The state had earlier enacted legislation to ban the sale of "bath salts."
