Subject: thread question

Okay, I took someone's advice in an earlier post I made on how to poison
a character in a test game I wanted to make by making a thread.  I'm not
sure if this is correct or not, but this is what I have:

def poison
  poisoned = thread.new
    poisoned do
          Character.hp - (rand(Character.hp * (10 - 5 + 1)/100) +
Character.hp*5/100)
          puts 'Your HP dropped!' + Character.hp + '/' + Character.maxhp
          sleep 20  #thread sleeps for 20 seconds
    end
end


Can I do it this way, so "Character.poison" would start the thread?  If
this would work, how would I use an "antidote" item to stop the thread?
