I received the following e-mail here today. It looks like an "urban legend". No flames please; just wondering whether this is true, so I can respond to the sender here.

Thanks!

     Please disseminate accordingly:

     "For all of you that have children, regardless of their ages.
Please
     give this your widest possible dissemination.

     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.  The
drug
     is absorbed through the skin simply by handling the paper.  There
are
     also brightly colored paper tattoos resembling postage stamps that
     have pictures of the ff: Superman, Mickey Mouse, Clowns, Disney
     characters, Bart Simpson, Butterflies, etc.

     Each one is wrapped in foil.  This is a new way of selling acid by
     appealing to young children!  They are laced with drugs!

     If your child gets any of the above, do not handle them.  They are
     know to react quickly and some are laced with strychnine.

     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 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.
