IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS CONCERNING YOUR CHILDREN

In Western Canada there is an RCMP bulletin regarding a new way to marking drugs to your youngest children. Below is a reprint of that bulletin.

NOTICE

July 19, 1995

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 coloured paper tattoos resembling a postage stamp that have the picture of one of the following:

Superman, Mickey Mouse, Clover, Butterflies, Disney Characters, Bart Simpson

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 change, change in body temperature.

Please feel free to reproduce this artical and distribute it within your community and work place. Get the word out about this danger to our children.

From: J. O'Donnel - - 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.
