    I forget in what series or movie it was, but they captured a zombie and pulled all its teeth, making it completely harmless. Probably in Walking Dead somewhere.

      In world War z the movie, North Korea is safe because every single citizen had their teeth all pulled as soon as the infection started.

      Teeth (whole jaw) and arms. Michonne did this to travel around as their smell would cover hers so other walkers couldn’t detect her.

        their smell would cover hers

        it’s funny how in later seasons, zombies lost all sense of smell, (probably because of ageing? but new zombies were the same I think)

        The smell didn’t matter at all, if you just wore a dried up zombie skin head mask. Then you could be part of the herd. They could hide right next to a zombie herd passing through in the ditch. You could get really close to a zombie from behind.

        Zombies basically just turned into extras in that series. Poor fellas got nerfed hard.

          I stopped watching during the 7th season. Maybe I’ll go back to finish it up, but it just felt stale even though they tried to mix things up a bit at the start.
