It is sort of weird to consider that kissing is something you do under a parasitic plant

Sacred to the Druids because of its evergreen nature and lofty growing habit. It was cut with a golden scythe and never allowed to touch the ground.

Easy Q for me. I take mistletoe shots for my CA, three times/week. it's widely used in Germany for CA therapy. But here in the US, not hardly heard of. Only one pharmacy in the country carries it.

wesley, maybe due to a person 'stealing a kiss' akin to 'stealing a plant's water & nutrients'?

One time I was under the mistletoe and a guy was to and then he was literally about to kiss me and then I pushed him and said love hurts! get used to it! but the reason why. I did that because he wasn't attractive to me! but that day he was just trying to kiss me but I'm like I'm not playing hard to get it's just that I don't want it! boo! but yeah that's what happened! sorry!
