Maybe when he knocked on the clipboard, he was really hitting the button on a remote, which set off a bogus alarm. Never miss a chance to mess with people’s heads.
There was already a botulism vaccine in the early ’70s. I know this because I knew folks who were doing research on botulism, and they were very careful to keep their immunity “current”.
They said that the reason the vaccine wasn’t in wider use was that for it to be effective it had to be repeated frequently (several times a year) and that it was “only slightly more painful than rabies shots”.
Knocking on wood is about the only traditional superstitious activity I do. Not because I expect it to work, but because it prepares me mentally for what might follow.
Knocking on wood of any sort people are being paganistic by asking for a mythical being called “dryads” to save them. It has been elided to Christianity as it subverted and usurped all kind of Pagan ideas including knocking on wood. Iron is something that faeries do not like and fly away from in fear as it discharges their magick.
