Anemia is a medical condition that makes some people falsely believe that they are real vampires
Derived from the Greek word for "bloodlessness", anemia is a blood disease
in which the red-cell and iron count is unusually low. Red cells are the carriers
of oxygen throughout the body. When a person suffers from anemia, their
symptoms are caused by inadequate oxygen. These symptoms may include:
- A pale complexion
- Fatigue
- Fainting spells
- Shortness of breath
- Digestive disorders
There are three main causes of anemia: disease, heredity, and severe blood
loss. Over the ages, a person suffering from these symptoms may have been
under suspicion of a vampire attack. Once again, myth warps to suit the
needs of the believer. Although the victim may have contracted a disease
or simply have inherited the blood disorder, society would have found it
easy to believe that the symptoms resulted from a vampire attack.
Indeed, these symptoms may even have suggested to our ancestors that the
victim was beginning his own transition to a vampire, marked with a pale
complexion and trouble eating food.
