Drugs Found in stamps and Toys Anyone who has a pre- schooler or school age child knows that kids love brightly colored stickers, hand stamps, and \tattoos.\ Recently, how- ever, police authorities have warned that a form of \tattoo\ called \Blue Star\ is readily available in some areas of the United States. \Blue Star\ is a small sheet of white paper containing blue stars about the size of a pencil eraser. Each star is impregnated with LSD and can be removed from the paper and put in the mouth. Handling the paper can also result in ab- sorption of the LSD through the skin. Another way of making drugs available is through brightly colored paper tabs about the size of postage stamps. These stamps are decorated with pictures of butterflies, clowns, Superman, Mickey Mouse, or other Dis- ney characters. They are often packed in a red cardboard box with a picture of Mickey Mouse on it. The package usually contains five one-inch square stamps. A young child could happen upon these stamps and have a fatal \trip.\ Older children wanting to have some fun, or dealers seeking new customers, could offer the stamps to younger children. Police in the Kansas City area have found a red stamp, called \Red Pyramid,\ being disbibutecii Tney 'aisd warn' against \Microdots which come in various colors and may be as small as a pin head, and another kind caled \win- dow pane,\ which has a grid on it that can be cut out. All of these are laced with drugs. The drugs generally react very quickly in the body; some are laced with strychnine. Symptoms include halluci- nations, mood change, and severe vomiting. Victims hould be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. If you or your children see i.: of these items, DO NOT HANDLE THEM!
