verbatim from a flyer posted up in the South, in 1996).
WARNING TO PARENTS
A form of tattoo called “Blue
Star” is being sold to school children. It is a piece of paper containing a
blue star. They are the size of a pencil eraser and each star is soaked with
LSD. The drug is absorbed through the skin simply by handling the paper.
There are also bright colored paper tattoos resembling postage stamps that
have the picture of the following: SUPERMAN, MICKEY MOUSE, CLOWNS, DISNEY
CHARACTERS, BART SIMPSON, and BUTTERFLIES. 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, uncontrollable laughing, mood
changes and change in body temperature.
Please feel free to reproduce this article and distribute it within your
community and workplace. Get the word out about this danger to our children.

Please copy and post at your work, give to friends, send a copy to your local
schools. This is very serious – young lives have already been taken.
