Dracula

One night a dark and stormy, Spanish neurologist Juan Gomez-Alonso were watching a vampire movie when he noticed something strange: he saw that the vampire behave like people who are exposed to rabies.

The virus attacks the central nervous system, alter moods and behaviors of those infected.Patients become anxious and crazy, and just like vampires, their mood can turn violent.

Rabies has several symptoms such as vampires. It can cause insomnia, which explains part of the dark legend. People suffering from rabies are also suffering from muscle spasms, which can cause them to vomit blood. What is amazing is
The fact that seizures are triggered by bright lights, water, mirrors, and smells very strong smell, like the smell of garlic.

After watching the movie Dracula a few times, Dr. Alonso Gomez felt compelled to continue studying vampire folklore and medical history of

rabies. Finally, he found a deeper relationship between the two phenomena: Vampire story became prominent in Europe, at the same time certain areas experiencing outbreaks of rabies.

This is particularly true in Hungary between 1721 and 1728, when an epidemic plagued dogs, wolves, and man and left the country in ruins. Gomez-Alonso theorized that rabies actually inspired the vampire legend, and the research published by leading medical journal Neurology in 1998.
