Are you suggesting that one of the traits bred into domesticated garlic was vampire repelling?

The people who who domesticated garlic were not killed by vampires, yes?

Would that then mean that growing garlic is an evolutionary adaptation of humans to the pressure of vampirism?

Would that then imply Italy has a significantly higher number of vampires than normal?

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.

TIL about jiangshi. Thanks.
