Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, I think that's how reservoirs work, but I'm not a public health expert.

imagine having to explain at the vampires anonymous meeting that you got it by cleaning out your bird feeder.
I think you'd have to at least have an open wound and come into contact with fresh blood since it's a bloodborn pathogen.
...do we know that? maybe vampires just have really bad dental hygiene
I think vampirism being a bloodborn pathogen is the consensus.
could be a fungal infection
Yeah, as long as it's bloodborn.
well if it's fungal it could have other methods of transmission that aren't documented due to lack of study. like you know how brazil nut allergy can be triggered through fluid exchange
Maybe. Further study is definitely needed.
