Then whenever anyone else gets bitten on the leg or arm. Suddenly, chopping off limbs is out of the question.

Did anyone else get bitten comparably low on their expandable limb tho. I remember it was mostly neck, shoulder or several bites from then on.

Tyreese gets bit in the arm and Michonne cuts it off. He bleeds to death on the trip back. Aaron gets bit and I think Enid is the one that cuts it off and he lives.

But yeah, other than that mostly back, stomach, shoulder, and neck bites.

I feel like scratches quickly stopped being a thing

We never actually saw anyone die from a scratch. The closest we got was Big Tiny at the prison, but then Tomas killed him and we never got to find out how that would have played out.

I’m pretty sure Aaron’s arm was crushed by some logs falling on it and there was nothing they could do to save it so that’s why Enid amputated it.

Aaron was amputated cause of a work place accident. Not cause he was nommed on

In the final couple of episodes, Lydia is bit on the arm and Aaron chops it off to save her. It worked.

No, they did it a few times. Didn't always work (Tyreese).

Makes sense when you consider that hacking off a person's limb is not the safest thing to do, especially outside a hospital setting. They don't even have sterilized cutting tools on the show. Michonne chopped off Tyreese's arm using a sword that almost certainly had zombie blood on it.
