He gets mad and erects a fence of cheap splintery wood to protect himself, and Gary the Snail bites him. soon after that Patrick enters SpongeBob's house and tells Spongebob about Mad Snail Disease. Spongebob becomes a bit worried because gary was acting strange. Later, Squidward asks SpongeBob if Gary has had all of his shots. SpongeBob says that he has forgot to give him his "mad snail disease" shot, a disease Patrick had mentioned beforehand. Just then, Gary runs off and starts to bite everybody in sight. Patrick tells SpongeBob and Squidward about the symptoms of the disease, one of which at the end is turning into a zombie. Bikini Bottom gets burned and wrecked as everybody scrambles to evacuate the city This becomes a Huge issue in the whole town. Soon, almost everybody gets bitten and believe they have turned into zombies. Those who have not fled are trapped in the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob tries to get in, but they believe he is a zombie. He slips through the doors. The citizens believe that Patrick and SpongeBob are zombies. Then people are accusing of people to be zombies... Just then Gary comes in, much to the frightening of the civilians. Gary bites SpongeBob.
A Bikini Bottom doctor, Dr. Gill Gilliam, comes inside and says that the disease is just an urban legend and Gary was just suffering from a tree-sized splinter in his foot, most likely from Squidward's large wooden fence. The episode ends with Gary biting Mr. Krabs although this was unknown why....
Trivia/Goofs

- The plot of this episode appears to be a parody of classic zombie movies such as 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, and most notably, Shaun of the Dead, and Dawn of the Dead.
- Around the end, most people who weren't "infected" fled and locked themselves in the Krusty Krab. This is what happened in Dawn of the Dead. File:Evacuate.jpgBikini Bottom being evacuated
- This episode is similar to the viral outbreak in the Resident Evil series, when Raccoon City is infected with a virus and all of the citizens became zombies. Also, when SpongeBob is first attacked by the zombies, some of the zombies are in police uniform, which is similar to the zombies in Resident Evil 2.
- Mad Snail Disease is a parody of Mad Cow Disease. The disease for snails is like rabies.
- The people evacuating Bikini Bottom could be references to numerous films notably Armageddon, Deep Impact, Independence Day, and War of the Worlds.

Quotations
Doctor Gill: Halt! Did someone say 'Mad Snail Disease'? Is that what all this is about?
Patrick:Yeah. What do you know about it?
Doctor Gill:Funny you should ask. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Doctor Gill Gilliam. S.D.E. and S.E.
Spongebob: S.D.E. and S.E.?
Doctor Gill: Snail disease expert and snail expert. I'm sorry to break this to you all, but that 'mad snail disease' you're talking about, it doesn't exist.
All: Huh?
Doctor Gill: That's right. No such thing. It's an old urban legend. A myth.
Patrick: Well, does that mean we're not zombies?
Doctor Gill: Of course not. No one is. It's just mass hysteria.
Blue Fish: But what about my severly untrimmed...
Doctor Gill: Those are only moderately untrimmed. All the supposed symptoms are just common ailments.
