Passing cold sores by passing joints?

I know you can pass cold sores through any sexual contact but what about passing spliffs?

 

Not unless there's a gallon (literally) of spit on it. I think.

 

probably could. Or dont drewl on the end of the joint, get a metal mouth peice from a pipe or something and put it to the end when the person with the cold sore tokes.

 

you are nice, i dont think i would pass my joint to some fool oozing pus off his mouth.
if i had a cold sore i think i would avoid anything that involved sharing cups or joints out of courtesy

 

the gallon of saliva thing i've always heard pertains to transmitting HIV.

herpes on the other hand is far easier to pass, and most adults live with cold sores every once in a while (in most cases it's very mild, when i get one it's usually about the size and appearance of a small pimple, right on the edge of my lip in the same place each time...usually mostly covered by facial hair anyway).....its more likely that someone who gets cold sores anyway will break out because of sharing saliva than it is that you'll GIVE someone cold sores, but either one would be possible, i think. you'd have to be breaking out yourself for it to even make a difference, if i'm not mistaken. usually it should be fine, but theres always a chance it could cause problems. i'd think as long as it didnt get in direct contact with the sore itself it should be ok, but who knows?

the best bet for smoking in a group when sick or if you have a cold sore is to smoke with a chillum and hold it in a traditional manner (between fingers clasping your hands together to make a mouthpeice...the chillum should stick up in the air and your mouth shouldnt touch it at all) and if you want to take serious precautions you can sterilize the mouthpeice with the flame of a lighter and let it cool before someone uses it after you, but i dont know how well that would work anyway and it seems excessive. some people seem to think it helps, and it probably wouldnt hurt anything.

 

dont smoke with someone who has a cold sore. nasty.

but u can only catch shit if u have an open sore on ur mouth i think.

 

If you can't manage the Chillum meathod, have someone give the sick person a shotty. Put the blunt backwards in your mouth, have them cup their hands around the mouth side of the blunt, and blow the smoke into their waiting lungs. Hell, you should smoke though a whole blunt like that, get ya ripppppped.

 

yeah but it burns too fast. if i had a digital camera i'd make an online tutorial for how to take incredible shotguns out of a fedora....doesn't sound possible, but its crazy....
