The most economically sensible thing to do is to pour a shot of rum on top of the drink and set it on fire (not while drinking, please...and remove the umbrella first). Let it burn for a bit to kill the disease, germs, yadayada, and then resume the party. Before you resume drinking, be sure to stir the ashes, just like Smokey says, because sometimes that rum flame can be sort of invisible and nose hair burns easily.
