If the character who was punching has augmented strength, then would make sense (Superman hits harder then Deadpool). Also depends if you're using blood loss and PV rules. And I tend to agree with the other posters as well. All comes down to circumstance and location of the injury.

I agree with most here. Have the player make a few rolls to make sure the work is decent and cost efficient. have time pass a few hours and allow the other plays some down time (goes to the bar, gets supplies, buy some equipment) and that sort of thing. Don't drag it out very long.

Cobra Vine, pg 34 wb england. Apparently can cure a vampire's bite. Since it dispells any control the vampire might have over the victim, then I'd say that is one way to at least cure the onset. Could also be read as it cures the vampire disease.
