I Don't Get Zombie Contagion

In every zombie movie, ever, zombies seem to proliferate in a geometric progression. In pretty much every zombie story, zombies hunger for human flesh - particularly brains. In pretty much every zombie story, the way you kill a zombie is to destroy their brains.

Given their prototypical hunger for brains and that destruction of the brain is what fully kills a zombie, one has to wonder, "how do zombies multiply" (especially, "how do they multiply geometrically"). I mean, if their innate hunger causes them to destroy their victims's brains and brain-destruction is what fully kills a zombie, shouldn't a zombie plague be fairly self-limiting?
