This is a little aside, but I was eating some garlic for a "bug", and it made me think about how garlic wards off disease, and vampires. And it's because they thought vampirism was a blood disease that the myth came into play.

But at the same time, look at something like ivermectin. Treats parasites, and perhaps there's more to it (works for macro parasites AND viruses?). The mechanism of action is interesting. And from a holistic standpoint, it's interesting that the "parasitic class" revolted against a drug that is anti-parasitic. Like a vampire reacting to garlic.
