I recently received the following from a friend in Guam. Apparently, the Navy newspaper there recently vectored the "Danbury Hospital" strain of the "Blue Star Tattoo" UL:

>I just opened the latest addition of our local navy newspaper
>and found this warning for parents.  I'm thoroughly disgusted
>and disheartened and hope this is not happening in your neck
>of the woods, o9f course that is yet another example of the
>fact that I would love to look at the world through rose
>colored glasses and can't. 

>>received from James O'Donnell at the Danbury Hospital Outpatient
>>Chemical Dependency Treatment Service.

>>"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 LSD.
>>[snip]
  

My well-meaning friend then e-mailed this warning to several dozen friends. I wrote back to her with a pointer to the afu FAQ on the subject, but I suspect the outbreak has already spread.
