What measures can you take to prevent a Dybbuk from harming or taking possession of you?

How does a person prevent a Dybbuk from entering their body?

I just want to know what prayers, amulets, and other things that people would have done in order to prevent or combat the presence of a Dybbuk.

I didn't really believe in Dybbuks (or is it Dybbukim?) I'm just interested in the legends and the things people did in order to prevent those spirits from harming them.

    1) be Torah observant

    2) dybbuk like other spirits do not interact with people unless people disturb them first

    3) remember that most legends are just that -

    referring to those who used to believe you could be possessed by entering the restroom in the dark

    epileptics and those with other medical conditions used to be thought of as possessed

    4) the mezuzzah is amulet for protection, as is th Ana B'Ko'akh

    Star of David was pretty good for protection against Dybbuk as well as other supernatural influences.
