Real vampires exist

I would be just as happy if our patients continued to not tell us about their vampirism.

Research led by D.J. Williams, director of social work at Idaho State University, indicated that people who identify themselves as "real" vampires -- that is, needing others' blood to gain energy -- would not disclose their practices to those in the helping professions and risk reactions like ridicule, disgust and possible diagnosis of a mental illness.

If the guys with the nets do not get them, I'm going to start self identifying as the love child of Buffy and Van Helsing.  They want to be taken as real?  Glad to oblige them.

stay safe.

"They are successful, ordinary people," he said.
Except they are very, very tired. That's apparently the chief reason they find a consenting adult willing to allow them to use a scalpel to make a tiny incision in the chest area so they can ingest a small amount of blood for energy, the study found.
Maybe they should try one of those CPAP breathing machines?

I was thinking that a proper diagnosis really does require staking them down, decapitating them and burning the remains to see if they die.

In certain "modern mythologies," "vampirism" refers to stealing the "good energy" from a victim rather than drinking their lifeblood.

Jes' sayin'.

That would be dependent on finding a victim with any good energy  ;)

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.

Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

I've been hollered at for excessive punning elsewhere, so I'm shutting up and I'm calling  ## 30 ##  on my puns.

That's why I suggested iron pills and Vitamin B in Reply 12.  A little E  might help, too.  Orrrr... a couple of plates of steak tartare sprinkled with garlic powder.
