[Very little could do actual damage to an angel, they had very few physical weaknesses and certainly weren't afflicted by illness or disease.
One of the lesser known exceptions to this rule was what happened when a twelfth century book was threatened with being relegated to a plastic bag.1
The angel in question turned a rather interesting shade of puce2, and clutched his chest with a look that can only be accurately described as Horrified.]
P...lastic bag?
1. Admittedly, this rule only applied to a certain angel called Aziraphale. Making it more of a sub-clause than an actual rule of its own.
2. You know the shade. Exactly as Auntie Margaret used on her knitted lumpy tea cosy.
