Wooden stakes throuh the heart

Vampires are allergic to pumpkins. That is why in the 1800's people invented the jack-o-lantern, to keep away the "vampires" and they would execute the "witches". The pumpkin is said to be what kept the vampires away from their homes at night, if not the flame of the candle burning inside would do so.

How do roses ward off vampires?

* Roses naturally have thorns and a toxic-wax coating that makes their scratches slightly painful. This is as true for vampires as it is for real people. * Roses are the symbol of true love (at least the red ones are) and the association may have an effect on some vampires by inducing guilt. * Some people (and consequently vampires) are allergic to plant pollen. And even though you're one of the undead your allergies still follow you. A vampire can over-come an allergic condition but it takes time and effort. As you can see the potential of a roses to ward off a vampire isn't all that potent. There are other things that have more power.

This came from the idea that, long ago, people who were thought to be vampires had stayed inside and refused to be exposed to sunlight, however they may have actually suffered an advanced form of photosensitivity.There is also the idea that vampires are allergic to garlic, however this can be contradicted by the idea that vampires are extremely sensitive to the smell and despise it.Hope that helps.
