The Walking Dead franchise has two potential cures for the zombie virus. The first cure is a strain of fungi that accelerates a zombie's rate of decay. The second cure involves using radiation to prevent zombie bites from being fatal, but the amount of radiation required is lethal. If more specialized doctors study June's early findings on radiation treatment, it could become a viable treatment for zombie bites. Fear The Walking Dead season 8 introduces a young boy who gets bitten by a zombie, setting up the possibility that June will find a way to save him. However, she must first escape from PADRE's control.
