  1. I remember as a child, back in the 50s and 60s, a condition in the corner of the mouth, commonly known as cold sores, caused by I don't know what fungus, which the children caught from one another, sharing glasses or simply drinking water from the same tap. The home remedy in those days was to put a blue copper sulphate stone on the affected area and it healed well.
    Be careful not to ingest!
