I was pleasantly surprised to see Cecil cite _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ in this column:

> **[Are vampires susceptible to blood-borne diseases?](https://www.straightdope.com/21344171/are-vampires-susceptible-to-blood-borne-diseases)**

But the example he discussed is actually from _Buffy_’s spin-off series, _Angel_.

Not to mention, a spoiler warning would be nice. Darla’s “unvamping” is a pretty big plot point, considering that she is dead for three years before coming back as a non-vampire living human

That series ended over 8 years ago. While the show is still rerun on TNT (they’re the only ones I know of), I’m reasonably confident we’re past the spoiler statute of limitations; anyone who’s that into it should have already seen it by now.
