    Those are both great examples of why a character might try to throw anti-troll paste (tar) at trolls.

    spoiler

    A red cape doesn’t mean anything different than a black cape to a bull, and sucking venom from a snakebite isn’t a thing outside of movies. It won’t hurt, but it won’t do much good either. One myth that will cause damage is putting ice on a pit viper bite though, so remember to avoid doing that.

      Huh, TIL on the snakebite thing. I was pulling that from an old boy scout manual, just remember something about cutting the wound site first.

      The red of the cape setting off a bull is a myth, sure; but you still don’t want to wave any capes around in front of a pissed off bull! I’ll stand by how I phrased that claim :p
