I'm thinking cutting off the infected limb would probably not help much. The infection would likely enter your bloodstream when you recieved the bite and by the time you got round to removing the limb it would be too late. I guess you might slow the rate of infection down, but probaby no more effective than if you just cleaned and dressed the wound. My theory is based on comparing a zombie bite to a snake bite and sucking the poision out of a snake bite is next to useless. That said, I't dont really hurt to try, considering the alternative.

If it wasnt me that got bitten I would be looking to put as much distance between myself and the bitten person as possible or suggest they do the heroic thing and either create a diversion while I made a dash to the chopper or let me use them as a meat sheild on the way to the chopper.... The real kick in the balls would come when I got myself to the chopper safely and realised I couldnt actually fly the thing. :eek:
