Well duh every nerd knows this but in any science fiction you have to allow for one given assumption and then debate the possibility of the rest.

Theguinea wormhas a similar strategy, but it infects people rather than grasshoppers. Though it doesn't make us drown ourselves, it does make us seek water to relieve the burning sensation caused when the parasites try to exit out of our feet. It's a nightmare of pain on its way out, but the good news is the worm isreallyon its way out: International efforts are moving the guinea worm ever closer to extinction.

I'm not going to argue with a man as smart as Neil deGrasse Tyson, but I would like to think of zombie's biting you not as they are hungry, but as a way to spread the virus (assuming it is a virus causing the outbreak like in The Walking Dead). Also, rigor mortis doesn't last forever, copy paste from Wiki:

Rigor mortis (Latin: rigor "stiffness", mortis "of death") is one of the recognizable signs of death, caused by chemical changes in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to move or manipulate.[1] In humans, it commences after about three to four hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, andgradually dissipates from approximately 24 hours after death.[2]

LOLLL

The Preservers

The Preservers comprise an elite group of volunteers selected by the Foundation to assist in the protection of the Guinea Worm. Preservers back up their deeply-held beliefs on the importance of protecting the earth's most endangered species by offering their own bodies as hosts for Guinea Worms. By submitting to the physical discomfort that accompanies Guinea Worm infection, the Preservers hope to carry with them the seeds of future generations of Guinea Worms.

Being a Preserver isn't easy, but with the challenges comes the reward of helping protect the earth's most endangered species.The Preservers' valiant efforts will help preserve the species in the face of almost certain destruction at the hands of the Guinea Worm Destruction Cartel led by the United Nations.

Two groups of volunteers have successfully hosted needy Guinea Worms, and we have received an overwhelming number of applications for our third group of Preservers.

While we cannot consider any new applications at this time, we welcome requests for additional information as you consider joining our elite corps.
