    You could have cured this kid from ever doing that ever again thusly, point to the cold sore and say

    "look, kid, I have active herpes and you just drank out of my bottle. Better go see a doctor right away"

    Reminds me of the person I saw walking out of Smokey Mountain National PARK, carrying a wreath of a vine she was going to make a Christmas Wreath with, I guess. Then I noticed the few "leaves of three" (leave them be) dangling from the vines.

    The Smokey Mountains will get the last word. That was Poison Ivy!! We tried to tell her, but she wouldn't believe us.

    For our non-US friends, you are not supposed to pick anything in our national parks.

    I think you will find this rule applies to most countries not just the US. So most would know this but some I guess choose to ignore it. Aahh at least she might think twice after that surprise.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    We have this great camp ground not far from us up in a place called big sur. the poisen oak there grows all over the place. The rangers won't cut it back any place but the trails. That way people will stay where they are supposed too. They hope.

    I know I'd never do this, but somehow I keep envisioning flipping off a stiletto-heeled shoe, grabbing it by the toe, whacking him where it hurts most, and then going all doe-eyed and saying "Oh, were you planning on using that? It was just hanging there, and your girlfriend over there said I could do whatever I wanted to it."

    How do I know I'd never to this? I never wear stiletto heels.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
