Why are vampires afraid of garlic and crosses?

What vampires are afraid of.

Many sources believe that vampires are afraid of many things, such as garlic, holy water and wooden stakes. Most of these rumors are incorrect. What vampires fear most is sunlight. Some powerful vampires have weak resistance to sunlight, but no vampire can resist sunlight. In addition, high temperature has a certain restraining effect on vampires, so vampires usually act at night, because daylight and high temperature during the day will seriously affect their thinking and ability. Besides, vampires are not afraid of garlic and holy water. If someone has extremely strong religious beliefs, it is possible to temporarily suppress vampires with crosses, but vampires will never die. Similarly, stakes have no effect on vampires, but if you can nail a vampire's heart with stakes, you can temporarily paralyze it until it is pulled out.

Vampires are afraid of the sun, and the power of the fierce sun can "melt" them, but the sunshine in the morning, dusk and cloudy days is not enough to kill them, which will only make them weaker than usual. As for ultraviolet rays, vampires are not afraid. This fact is a valuable lesson learned by the police after investing millions in developing ultraviolet pistols and finding them useless.

In addition, some legends are false, vampires are not afraid of holy water, which may be related to the lack of real holy water in recent years. Who knows? I knew it was useless. Vampires are not afraid of the Bible, and some even recite it faster than priests.

After all, vampires are not particularly involved in anti-Christian beliefs. As early as hundreds of BC, blood-sucking people have existed in all cultures of the world for a long time, not only believed by western Christians.

Fortunately, some legends are true. Vampires are afraid of silver But the degree of fear of silver is related to the generation of vampires and the purity of silver; Some fresh vampires will die if they are hit by silver-plated bullets, but fierce vampires will only be injured by silver-plated bullets, not fatal (unless they are beaten into honeycombs), and silver bullets and spears will definitely make vampires seriously injured and dying.

However, it must be noted that vampires are not ghosts after all, so it is also effective to attack vampires with non-silver weapons. It's just the vampire's inner constitution that repairs wounds very quickly. Only silver can hinder the recovery speed of the wound and even lead to blood poisoning and death.

Vampires are distributed all over the world, and there are vampires wherever there are people, just like the relationship between people and mosquitoes.
