Everybody should be aware of this. Marilyn IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS: A form of tatoo called "BLUE STAR" is being sold to school children. It is a small piece of paper containing a blue star. They are the size of a pencil eraser, and each star is soaked with L.S.D. The drug is absorbed through the skin simply by handling the paper. There are also brightly colored paper tatoos resembling postage stamps that have the picture of one of the following: Superman Mickey Mouse Clowns Disney Characters Bart Simpson Butterflies Each one is wrapped in foil. This is a new way of selling acid by appealing to young children. These are laced with drugs. If your child gets any of the above, do not handle them. These are known to react quickly and some are laced with strychnine. Symptoms: Hallucinations, severe vomiting, uncontrolled laughter, mood changes, change in body temperature. Please feel free to reproduce this article and distribute it within your community and work place. Get the word out about this danger to our children! From: J. O'Donnell - Danbury Hospital - Outpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment Service. Please copy and post it at your work give to friends, send a copy to your local schools. This is very serious - young lives have already been taken. This is growing faster than we can warn parents and professionals.

It arrived over the Syntex network, and the people there are taking it very seriously. That's all I know. ------- Forwarded message Received: from iti.org by um.cc.umich.edu via MTS-Net; Fri, 17 Dec 93 09:49:57 EST Received: by iti.org (5.65/IDA-1.2.8) id AA23912; Fri, 17 Dec 93 09:51:44 -0500 From: "Roland J.

Galler) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 344 A colleague of mine says that LSD-soaked tattoos are a classic urban myth. Some even question whether LSD can be absorbed that way. So..you have a father whose daughter is a chemist taking it seriously, and others saying do not worry about it. Obviously, we each need to make up our own minds about such warnings. -- Rollie Cole rjc () iti org
