Got This from another board i visit kinda scared me:
Dont know if you guys know about this, but in Florida and a few other states (Missouri, Virginia and some others) there is a very sick joke some asshole(s) is/are playing on unsuspecting motorists at Gas stations.
They are affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of the gas pump handles that are tainted with HIV positive blood. *When the person goes to grab the handle to pump the gas, the needle, which is broken in half, then pokes the hand or finger.
17 cases in Florida alone have ben reported so far 8 of which have resulted in the infection being transferred to the victim. 12 have been reported in other states.
I am NOT making this up!! *My mom works for the Illinois Dept. of Public Health and received this email today from a friend of hers, Capt. Abe Sands of the Jacksonville PD. *
I just thought the members would want to know and advise others of this danger. *Let me know if you have heard something similar or what.
Be safe out there.
