Kuyambira kale, anthu amawopa mileme, chifukwa chakuwoneka kwawo kwachilendo komanso moyo wawo usiku, amakhulupirira kuti amadyetsa magazi amunthu, m'maiko ambiri nthano zakale zachinsinsi zazinyama zachilendozi zasungidwa.
Mwachitsanzo, ku Poland, mbewa idakhomedwa ndi ziboliboli m'khola kuti isunge ziweto zake, amakhulupirira kuti imachoka pagulu loyipa. Pali nthano zomwe zimalankhula zakunyenga kwa mdierekezi ndi mleme ndikuupatsa mphamvu zamatsenga. Mwachitsanzo, kalekale amakhulupirira kuti zolengedwa zodabwitsa monga mizukwa zingasinthe kukhala mleme.
Izi zitha kunenedwa za mileme yakuda, chifukwa mtundu wake umayimira usiku ndi imfa. Zomwe zitha kunenedwa za mileme yoyera, yomwe iyeneranso kukhala yosiyana tanthauzo, popeza mtundu wake umaimira mtendere ndi chisangalalo. Momwemonso, mwachitsanzo, ku Amwenye aku South America anali mileme yoyera yomwe imawonedwa ngati nyama yopatulika ndipo imalemekezedwa munjira iliyonse.
Mimbulu imakhala m'malo otentha m'mapanga akulu m'mabanja akulu. Oyendera alendo kwa zaka mazana ambiri amawopa kupita kumapanga awa, chifukwa kumeneko, chifukwa cha magawo ambiri omwe mbewa zimakhala, phokoso limapangidwa ndipo mphepo imawomba, zomwe zimapangitsa "kulira" koopsa. Nzika zakomweko, ndiye kuti Amwenyewo, adadziwa kuti alibe choopa chilichonse, ndipo adatumiza ankhondo osankhidwa ndi shaman wamtunduwu kuphanga. Msirikali wobwerera uja, ndikubwera ndi guano lopatulika la mbewa, amamuwona ngati wamkulu. Feteleza anapangidwa kuchokera ku guano ndipo amagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati chakudya. Momwemonso, pakadali pano m'mafuko omwe atsala, mileme yoyera imawonedwa ngati yopatulika.
