So I started thinking of this. Nick is like super sticked at this point...what would happen to someone if they exchanged blood with Nick (think HIV type exchange) or a emergency blood transfusion (i.e. someone is bleeding out and Nick just happens to be a universal donor (see footnote #1)).
And if that is true, what about other body fluids(see footnote #2)? So that could open up other possibilities. For example if it could be inadvertently transferred via sex, then...what? Personality shifts and what else?

Footnote(s):
#1 Yes, I am aware that O negative is no longer considered THE universal blood donor type. But it is till considered acceptable in life threatening situations.
#2 In some cultures the male emitting fluid is thought to contain the essence of a man's chi/Ki/Prana (internal power) and can actually be transferred from one person to another. And some cultures maintain it is necessary for good health for men and women to balance each other via sexual intercourse.
I really like tough questions like these. After some thought, I actually can see this from a couple of different angles.
I've stated before that I don't see the stick as a religious artifact. For one thing, I just don't see Nick as special enough to be wielding a religious artifact. That said, it's not plausible to me Nick could heal himself with the stick. I also don't recall anything in my background to support that the recipient of a miracle could pass on those miraculous traits to a partner or subsequent generation.
From a fantasy perspective, absolutely. Vampires can pass on their undead qualities to a partner or victim. And speaking of vampires, there apparently is a cultural basis to this belief. Not long ago, I watched a program where the grave of a so called vampire was unearthed. The body was not impaled with a wooden stake, but a metal farm implement, which I think was a shovel. It's a mystery as to what this man did to be mutilated, but it was a fascinating program just the same.
Grimm, in my opinion, is really uneven and/or vague with regard to the processes in regard to physical changes in Grimms and hexenbiests. For instance, hexenbiests mate with other hexenbiests and produce little hexenbiests. Yet Grimm would have us believe that a Grimm's blood can displace a hexenbiest.
Then, with little to no explanation, Juliette becomes a hexenbiest, even though she does not possess the genetics of a person who can house a hexenbiest. Even more convoluted, Nick's blood cannot remove her hexenbiest blood even though he's a Grimm because of a spell.
So could Nick pass on weird of strange characteristics he got from being healed by the stick? The odds are 50/50 in my opinion because Grimm is so uneven with the characteristics of Grimms and hexenbiest.
I know this probably wasn't what you were looking for, izzy. I just thought I would throw some thoughts out there for discussion. Good topic, btw.
