Sixpack and Bowman die after ingesting the contaminant, and Doc Thompson may not be aware that it can also spread by physical contact. (He never offers it as a theory, and neither does anyone else.) Doc is also completely at ease around Cobb right before he turns and attacks and kills Doc. If Doc was truly clued in that Cobb was infected, it would be assumed he'd take more care when being around Cobb. Further, Cobb only really shows signs that something is physically wrong with him (he's sweating and pale) RIGHT before he turns and attacks Doc.]]
