So then it stands to reason that it can also be a bad deal if it's in the ground water at the Greene Farm.
Now couple that with the fact that the little blond girl, [last hope for some more good group-greene love action], fell on the floor with a fever while washing dishes. Now I do not necessarily mean that she was washing dishes, and that's where she got "da fever", especially since she also had a close encounter with her zombie-mom. But I would say that if you get it through the water, it acts really slowly. I still think Blondie could turn, then they will all be thinking, ahh, we should have let her kill herself. Maybe we are intended to think that she got scratched, when she really is having too much contact with well water? But again, if it's not a bite, but you can still die, it seems to work super slowly.
Of course I am just brain-stormin now, but look out for this water angle.

The more I think about this, the more it seems to line up. I keep thinking of Stephen King's
Dreamcatcher, where Mr. Gray was trying to dump an alien body into the standpipe to infect the town. Not sure if that is overly influencing my thought, but what was the point to the whole "send Glenn down the well" scene? (And what kind of idiots are they to do that, anyway?)
One of the things that keeps bugging me is the rapid deterioration of Blondie. I think she was at the sink when she collapsed, and she sure looked pale & deathly for awhile laying on the bed. Now she doesn't eat and is obsessed with suicide. Maybe those are signs. It wouldn't explain why only Blondie is affected, when they are all drinking & washing from the same supply, but it has me thinking.
On a personal note, the healthcare worker in me cringes at the lack of universal precautions with all that blood spatter around.
