now, that hasn't truly been proved out, but even though Jim wasn't shown as a zombie, it was certainly insinuated that he was turning. the blonds sister had her throat ripped out I believe, so she woulda been dead zombie or not. herschel got his leg chopped off before the infection could spread...againg insinuating that a bite will kill you. at the end of the day.....we've yet to see a bite and a death from that bite....but it's certainly insinuated and would follow the precedent set forth by just about every zombie movie made.

The human mouth has more bacteria in it than most animals, and is one of the dirtiest places on the human body. Now, take the filth hole, and fill it with owners own rotting, decaying flesh, plus the rotting and decaying flesh of whatever or whoever they have eaten since they turned to zombies and then let that all stew for days/months.
Basically you get a nasty infection that will end up killing you. The reason they cut off Hershel's leg was to stop that infection before it has time to spread.
Bites do not transmit the zombie virus, but they do transmit disease and infection. At least in the WD Universe.
