The vampire throughout the world arose concurrently with the werewolf and its origin again stemmed from the tortures of being 鈥渮ombies鈥� tied down in the wilderness.”

“Rabies鈥� residence in people is also, by these standards, accidental, though its inability to spread through humans largely boils down to issues of anatomy and behavior: although the virus does express itself in human saliva, humans lack a propensity to bite and the sharpened teeth with which to do it effectively.”

“The most lavish prophylaxis against hydrophobia in the hunting hound was carried out, fittingly, by the kings of France. In the hunting accounts of the French palace, historians have found annual outlays for all the king鈥檚 hounds to undergo a special ceremony. They were transported to the Church of St. Menier les Moret, in order 鈥渢o have a mass sung in the presence of the said hounds, and to offer candles in their sight, for fear of the mal de rage鈥濃€攖hat is, the disease of rabies. One wonders whether the hounds howled along.”

“For men bitten by mad dogs, The Master of Game suggests a number of remedies, though a few of these are dismissed in the same breath as they are proposed. For example, some bitten men go to the sea and allow nine waves to pass over them, but 鈥渢hat is but of little help.鈥� Other men pull all the feathers from around a live rooster鈥檚 anus and, hanging the poor bird by the neck and wings, set the anus on the bite wound, on the theory that said anus would suck forth the poison. If the rooster swells up and dies, then the hound is mad, but the man will be healed; that is, the book avers, 鈥渕any men say鈥� this is the case, but 鈥渢hereof I make no affirmation.”
