Death by Zombie: Zombie with your gear.

Believe it or not, but people can in fact be completely immune to diseases.

No.You can't be immune to all diseases, but you can be immune to some specific ones.

While you may argue players aren't actually immune because they catch infection from zombies, this isn't true. They are rotting corpses, so they will more than likely carry other dangerous pathogens, which is what causes players to get infected.

Zombies aren't rotting corpses, they are alive but infected with a sort of 'rage virus' as in 28 Days Later.

I guess actual tool use is different from navigating your environment.

Like, some monkeys use no tools at all, but have no problem climbing stuff if you set them loose in an unfamiliar city (not based on personal experience, I don't do that sort of stuff anymore).

Believe it or not, but people can in fact be completely immune to diseases. On DayZ, those people would be the survivors, being immune to the zombie-causing disease. While you may argue players aren't actually immune because they catch infection from zombies, this isn't true.

tl;dr - Rocket has already stated he does not want to add this feature. It will not happen, so don't count on it.

The zombies aren't dead and rotting, they have VERY poor hygiene and thus more infections come about (the average human with 'good' oral hygiene has a mouth loaded with bacteria). Imagine if a crazy homeless person bit you because you wouldn't give him any change (not a zombie, just an asshole), your probably gonna clean the infection as soon as you can and head to a hospital to get tested, (Doctor: "I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is you have a new form of Hepatitis, as well as testing positive for HIV, the good news is its being named after you.")
