Vampire activity seems to be at an all time high so it is quite important that we all remember to take logical steps to avoid becoming one of the undead.

Five Simple Ways To Avoid Becoming A Vampire
Vampire attacks and general activity seems to be at an all time high once more, with the body of a young girl having been found in the forest and a horde of them even owning a business within London. No doubt that many vampires are looking to have respectable humans join their ranks and it has been made obvious that they do not discriminate between a criminal or a respectable debutante. The following are five simple steps that one can take to avoid becoming a being that relies on the blood of others for survival.

An example of what a typical vampire might look like.

1. Be Wary of Strangers
A known fact about vampires is that they cannot cross the threshold of a private home uninvited. If a stranger comes knocking on your door, do not let them in. Do what you can to keep them outside which is really a good, general rule to have for any stranger. Vampires are typically pale, gaunt and have a tendency to try and hide their mouths because if they don't, you could see their fangs. If someone is acting or looking this way, then they just might be a vampire.

2. Make Use of Garlic
Vampires have an aversion to garlic so it might do one well to carry a couple of cloves on their person. A garlic necklace would be terribly unfashionable so it might be best to have it sewn into a non-visible part of your attire. The scent might drive off some people but this is a great measure to avoid vampires wanting to approach you. You could also carry it in your coin purse but this could cause your money to smell like garlic as well.

3. Travel In Groups
Many respectable ladies almost always have someone that they are traveling if one considers chaperones. However, this might not be enough to protect you from being turned into a vampire. It is a lot safer if you keep to a group of people as only the boldest of vampires would attack a group of people, especially if one or more are magical. After all, we have magic and vampires lose their ability once they are turned. There is also the fact that one would be able to run for help if their companions are attacked.

4. Make Use of Silver
It is not proven but it is rumored that vampires are repulsed by silver. A silver necklace might be a very elegant way to protect yourself from a vampire attack. There are many jewelry options and you could even get a coin purse with silver embellishments. It is also the most fashionable option when it comes to repelling vampires from turning you into one of the undead.

5. Keep Covered - Especially Your Neck!
Not only is it important for ones reputation to be properly covered up but it could save you from becoming a vampire! Keeping your neck and shoulders covered up could help prevent you from a vampires attack as they will have difficulty getting through the cloth. Fashion has started showing a bit more of the shoulders and most times, ladies have their throats bare. This makes them a perfect target for a vampires whims. Prevent that by simply wearing attire that fashionably protects those areas.
