You know just saying with no hate, but its funny how....
Its funny how they say a little girl can survive by herself. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD GAMES!!! But one day i thought....... if a walker grabs you it WILL leave a mark and it will get infected. If you get walker's blood in your eyes your dead. And its hos Clem has a lot of blood when she kills the walker in the shed. And just a silly comment

You're mixing up zombie universes mate. It's not because in 28 days later, a drop of blood in your eye makes you turn that the same is true in TWD universe. Same can be said about a zombie scratching you makes you turn.
To be honest I think TWD does it the right way aka only a bite kills you and you come back no matter how you die, think about it. In 28 Days Later a drop of zombie blood in you makes you turn... Then that means mosquitoes would've decimated the entirity of mankind since they can carry blood from victims to victims, that's conviniently ignored though.
In short, Kirkman's zombie rules =/= other fiction's zombie rules, and by those rules a smart little girl can survive anything
looks at TellTale staff ... right ?
I don't think it's even the DNA of the walkers that kills. I just think it's because their mouths are so full of germs and disease that it'll give anyone a high-stakes fever.
This would also mean that the blood doesn't necessarily have the same level of germs as the mouth.. who knows how the zombies operate?
Seems that the easiest, simplest explanation is that the infection from a bite of any kind makes you sick and kills you, regardless of the walker virus. This is true in real life, you can become very ill from a human bite, maybe even die, because our mouths are very dirty and full of bacteria all the time.
It doesn't seem to me that the walker virus is WHY the bites are fatal... it seems to me that it's the lack of treatment of the bite, and the resulting bacterial infection that can and usually does kill.
In season one of the TV show, Jim probably would have survived his relatively minor bite if they had any sort of medicine or means to treat it... but he hid the bite for a long time, believing that the bite WAS how you turned, and that clearly gave the bacteria time to infect his blood stream and make him fatally ill.
Rick cut off Hershel's leg almost immediately after he was bitten, getting rid of the main source of bacteria and keeping it from contaminating his blood stream.
In the game, neither Duck nor Lee's bites were treated in any way whatsoever for at least a day, maybe longer (I can't remember how much time lapsed between bite and death). Like I said, being bitten by a human in real life CAN kill you, but imagine being bitten by something that's been dead for a while.
Clementine was bitten by a dog. While some believe that dogs mouths are cleaner that humans mouths, that's actually not true... but it could be that she was lucky enough to be bitten by a relatively healthy, if not malnourished dog. She DID start to feel ill but thankfully was able to treat her wound and stave off infection.
So to sum it up, basically, you get bitten by something, it's probably going to become infected over time if left untreated. Get bitten by a DEAD mouth and the bacteria count is probably significantly higher.
It has nothing to do with the walker virus and everything to do with the typical types of fatal infections from being bitten by a bacteria ridden thing.
That's probably the plausible explanation, but I don't think anyone in any of the franchise's iterations has ever survived a bite without amputation, which suggests that medicine is always useless and there is some kind of specific "infection" that only a walker bite spreads.
In the end it's best to just say "it's fiction" and not try and understand the zombies in a scientific way, because it's just not the point of the series.
