If based on per capita consumption, China has the most vampires.

...And the omnipresence of garlic in Chinese cuisine would also be what drove jiangshi to develop garlic immunity, makes sense.

how would sparrows transfer vampirism without teeth?

TIL about jiangshi. Thanks.
-
They wouldn't directly. They'd have to be bitten by something else that acquires vampirism from them and transfers it to another host, like malaria.
-
latent vampirism...
-
Yeah, I think that's how reservoirs work, but I'm not a public health expert.
-
imagine having to explain at the vampires anonymous meeting that you got it by cleaning out your bird feeder.
-
I think you'd have to at least have an open wound and come into contact with fresh blood since it's a bloodborn pathogen.
-
...do we know that? maybe vampires just have really bad dental hygiene
-
I think vampirism being a bloodborn pathogen is the consensus.
-
could be a fungal infection
-
Yeah, as long as it's bloodborn.
-
well if it's fungal it could have other methods of transmission that aren't documented due to lack of study. like you know how brazil nut allergy can be triggered through fluid exchange
-
Maybe. Further study is definitely needed.
