MEDICAL ALERT

A form of tattoo 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 tattoos resembling postage stamps that have
the picture of one of the following:
                Superman                 Mickey Mouse            Clowns
                Disney Characters        Bart Simpsons
                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.

Symtoms:  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.

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.

Cheers :-)
