Fashion against vampire bites
Second countdown to Halloween post tonight, just for kicks, as I had a bit of an inspiration. You know, dear reader(s), that I sometimes obsess about what to use to fight against supernatural forces. I posted both in 2012 and in 2013 about the arsenal to use against what I called the Forces of Darkness. I think about it from time to time, about offensive weapons and also, of course, anything that could be used as defense. It struck me today that the polo neck, or turtleneck could be a fairly good protection against vampire bites. Because obviously it conceals the neck. Sure, it offers limited protection: the vampire is extremely strong and if you are unconscious, he has merely to pull the polo neck down or ripped it off. But it is better than having the vein exposed, for one, and one can improve the protection: a necklace of garlic flowers, or one single garlic flower used as a sort of brooch, or simply have garlic rubbed over the fabric, could greatly increase your chances of survival against these bloodsuckers. And put a crucifix on if you are a believer (or even if you are not). There are other advantages to polo necks: they are warm on a cool day or in cold crypts where vampires dwell, they are rather banal and you would not draw attention onto you when chasing the nosferatu (unlike say a combat uniform) and they are just very comfortable. I wear one every Halloween night, just in case.
