Microorganisms and parasites are usually only fatal in massive numbers. I fail to see how Nerg could kill Zorah, specially if it has no way to attack it from the inside. But what do I know, this could be a case of Capcom completely dismissing realism/logic to hype the latest shillmon, which isn't at all uncommon.
