Found this article for using sour milk. Of course, if there is no longer refrigeration, (because the aliens have taken control of the power grid in an attempt to squash the zombie uprising) you will need to act fast on sour milk acquisition.

While researching whether it will be important to wear camouflage with zombie forces out and about, I ran across this site. Lots of useful information.
Sight: due to degradation of their corneas, zombies suffer from severe myopia. In addition, they are colorblind.
Hearing: zombies go deaf within a few weeks of transformation. Efforts to rehabilitate them through ASL training have thus far proved unsuccessful.
