The “Sanguinarian” (or Sang) vampires ingest small amounts of blood, human or otherwise, in order to obtain the energy that they believe is held within the blood. This blood is obtained through a willing donor. The act of feeding on a donor is known as “bloodletting.

Drinking blood won’t have the same therapeutic effect. Consuming more than a few drops — like from a busted lip — may actually make you nauseous and result in vomiting. If you do go on to ingest a significant amount, hemochromatosis is possible.

Although not traditionally regarded as an apotropaic, mirrors have been used to ward off vampires when placed, facing outwards, on a door (in some cultures, vampires do not have a reflection and sometimes do not cast a shadow, perhaps as a manifestation of the vampire’s lack of a soul).

Vampires are often depicted as being repelled by garlic, running water, or Christian implements such as crucifixes and holy water.

In Breaking Dawn, Part 1, vampire Edward and human Bella make a baby. The fetus needs blood for nourishment, matures at an accelerated rate (from conception to birth in less than a month), and threatens to crush Bella “from the inside out.”
