Women who bite like vampires attack people in New Zealand
There were two separate incidents over the weekend in New Zealand’s North Island in which two women were separately accused of biting their victims. Although the two cases were not related, what was common was the vampire-like way of attacking their victims.

News.com.au reports that the first case, the victim was a woman whose ears the female attacker chomped off. In the second case, a woman bit the neck of a man so hard that her teeth cut through an artery.
A spokesman of the Hawke Bay District Command Centre, where the two incidents happened, recounts that it was a fight among three women that result in one of them biting the ear of the victim who needed medical attention because of the injury. The bite of the second incident was just below the ear, on the neck of a man during an attack at a Napier pub, The Thirsty Whale. Because of blood loss, the man was rushed to a hospital where he is in a serious condition.
According to Chris Sullivan, owner of Thirsty Whale, the people involved in the second incident were not locals and came to the pub for the first time. They were apparently a couple who marred the jovial atmosphere at the restaurant which had a dance floor that Saturday night.
The incident brings to mind a couple of year ago when boxer Mike Tyson bit the ear of his opponent, Evander Holyfield, during a match.
According to the National Health Service of UK, when treating bites caused by humans or animals, remove first anything from the bite spot, such as teeth, and then clean the would thoroughly by running warm tap water over the bite for a few minutes. Allow the wound to bleed by gently squeezing the area, except if it is already bleeding freely. Give the victim painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, if the bite is painful.
If a body part, like the ear, has been bitten off, wash that part with tap water and place it in a plastic bag or sealed container which must be placed in a tub of iced water to keep it cool. But don’t freeze it; instead bring the part to the hospital where the victim is being treated for possible reattachment via reconstructive surgery.
