zombie bite
Contagious flesh wound
A zombie bite is the wound inflicted when a zombie attacks, which in horror fiction typically transmits the infection that turns victims into zombies themselves.
The term extends to any contaminating contact with something harmful: One look at social media and you've got a zombie bite—you're already infected with outrage.
Getting bitten usually means inevitable transformation, making zombie bite shorthand for a point of no return.
