For that to work they would need a working digestive system, as well as a working circulatory system to pump blood around their body in order for these mysterious chemicals to reach their own brain. If they had all that, they wouldn't really be classed as zombies, just psychopaths that like to eat brains.

If she fails to do so she will fall into standard zombie mode and lose herself forever.

Comics also have people flying around in their underwear, that doesn't make them true.

If you wore a full face helmet and full leathers they wouldn't be able to pull you apart, all they could do would be to give you a nasty pinch.
