Reb Yosef should know better. Chazal bring down that inyanim such as hiding a tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy is akin to avodah zorah and apikorsus since there is no “tooth malach” designated to exchange used teeth for a Sachar in olem hazeh.
Likewise, we are not allowed to “kiss” a cut, scar or laceration since doing so might put your lips in contact with blood in contradiction of the issur on such in parshas Ra’eh where it is written:
רַ֣ק חֲזַ֗ק לְבִלְתִּי֙ אֲכֹ֣ל הַדָּ֔ם כִּ֥י הַדָּ֖ם ה֣וּא הַנָּ֑פֶשׁ וְלֹא־תֹאכַ֥ל הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ עִם־הַבָּשָֽׂר׃
