I don't want to. It has germs on it from all the other people who have kissed it. Disgusting.

With the current Covid crises I suppose that that is smart.

Spray with Lysol first.

Lysol is warning people that using disinfectants on or in the body is dangerous. Tremendously dangerous. “As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route),” a spokesperson for Lysol said.

Probably a better approach is to douse the Blarney Stone with a cup of Irish Whiskey first.

I am not suggesting people lick the stone after Lysol.Once it was used as a douche( diluted of course and not a good idea)so I doubt briefly touching the lips to it would do much harm.I’m not Trump suggesting injecting it.
Pouring good Irish whiskey on a rock is wasteful, drink it after kissing the stone instead.

Had earlier in year heard that Blarney Stone was closed to kissing but searching just now found it had reopened, I did not know that.

July 01, 2020 Kissing of the Blarney Stone reopens - with new rules in place to prevent Covid-19 spread
KISSING of the Blarney Stone, one of Ireland most popular tourist attractions, finally resumed this week following restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In March, people were officially banned from kissing the stone for the first time in its over 600-year history, due to fears of spreading the virus.

Given how long a walk County Cork is from Kansas City I don't foresee myself ever having to deal with the question of kissing the Blarney Stone.
