Abstract
The years 2020–2021 have bordered on apocalyptic — environmentally, politically and medically. At such times, the world is at a heightened risk of a “vampiregeddon”, with recent attacks reported both in high1,2 and low income countries.3 Apart from the direct impact on victims, attacks can have a flow‐on effect on health systems and economic productivity; for example, with reductions in voluntary blood donations and reduced tourism.3 To minimise the public health impact of attacks, we believe it is timely to review the available interventions to deter vampires. In this article, we focus on the efficacy of one traditional preventive intervention: garlic.
