Garlic I have no honest idea... but I don't think what the anon above said is reason. I mean if the blood is not going to clot I think the vampire would be more than happy since they might as well just feed their victims garlic and suck them dry even easier.

Supposedly mosquitos don't like the odor of garlic though so that could be one thing

mosquito = blood sucker and vampire = blood sucker = vampire and mosquito = same weakness lmao

another maybe though is that garlic purifies blood so it would basically make the blood they already feed on poison I guess? I don't know garlic is one of those that stump me...

EDIT: another thing that hit me with mosquitos lmao XD

Mosquitos spread diseases when they suck blood. And well vampires spread diseases (mainly the germ/virus that creates vampires) when they suck blood. And I think garlic is supposed to be good for one of those two things (forgot if anti viral or anti bacterial)
