After I drank the second one, I realized they had been passing around the same shot glass. Six days later my b/f, his son and myself all came down with a wicked head cold. I broke out with a fever blister and I'm wondering if there could've been a connection to sharing that shot glass? Reply to this Question

 Its hard to say really, it could well have been from passing the glass around, if one of them had just got over a rotten cold then the germs would have been left on the glass and passed to anyone who consumed drink from that cup. Or it could simply have been either you, your B/f, or his son picked up the cold somewhere and you just picked it up naturally through touch, or even from just breathing the same air. I think in future it would be wise not to consume drink from a cup thats has been passed round a group of people before it reaches you.
All the best x

 it is possible, if the germs of the head cold came from one of you and then they were passed around, ultimatley speading but then if you are all under the same roof, that too could be the reason, either way, for future reference and peace of mind, try not to share any glasses if it makes you feel uncomfortable and cautious about catching different illnesses.
take care.
