dealing with infection- Pandemic scenario

By TacticalChicken, in Zombie Apocalypse

Hi all,

I just ran my first session, and it went swimmingly. My group and I are veterans of 15+ years of DnD, Shadowrun, and others, and they were over the moon. Amazing first session. Anyway, the stats for the Infected state that a chance of infection is possible with a bite, since it's transmitted through saliva, but it doesn't really go into detail about how to handle a bite on the PCs. One of my PCs was bitten, and took the appropriate stress, which he converted into a 1D trauma. The others helped him slice the flesh away, and disinfect it immediately, after which he rolled another check, and passed. So my question is, at what point does the PC turn ? Does he have to die from the bite ? Thanks for any help.
