This cache is brought to you courtesy of the ZOMBIE OUT BREAK RESPONSE TEAM.
The Zombie Outbreak Response Team is comprised of ordinary citizens, including geocachers, that are preppers and survivalists preparing for all worst case scenarios, especially a Zombie outbreak of epic proportions. When finding this cache, you will be reminded of something you may want to be wary of, such as a Zombie Parrot when (not if) an outbreak occurs! Are Zombies for real? Maybe so?? I recommend that you read the paragraph below before you find this cache.
Wade Davis S, a Harvard ethnobotanist, presented a pharmacological case for zombies in a 1983 paper in the “Journal of Ethnopharmacology” and later in two popular books, “The Serpent and the Rainbow” (1985) and “Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie” (1988). Davis traveled to Haiti in 1982 and, as a result of his investigations, claimed that a living person can be turned into a zombie by two special powders being introduced into the blood stream (usually via a wound). The first, coup de poudre (French: "powder strike"), includes tetrodotoxin (TTX), a powerful and frequently fatal neurotoxin found in the flesh of the pufferfish (order Tetraodontidae). The second powder consists of deliriant drugs such as datura. Together, these powders were said to induce a deathlike state in which the will of the victim would be entirely subjected to that of the bokor. The process described by Davis was an initial state of deathlike suspended animation, followed by re-awakening — typically after being buried — into a psychotic state. The psychosis induced by the drug and psychological trauma was hypothesised by Davis to reinforce culturally learned beliefs and to cause the individual to reconstruct their identity as that of a zombie, since they "knew" they were dead, and had no other role to play in the Haitian society. Societal reinforcement of the belief was hypothesized by Davis to confirm for the zombie individual the zombie state, and such individuals were known to hang around in graveyards, exhibiting attitudes of low affect.
