Apparently there has been some trouble down in South Florida with someone sticking HIV-infected needles on the handles of gas pumps. About 15-20 people have been infected by getting stuck when grabbing it to fill up. Be careful!

 

Are you certain this isn't an urban legend?

 

No, not at all. And, after checking with the "source", it was in an email being sent around. Probably a dumb chain letter after all.

 

I live in South Florida, and I heard something about this on the news, but I wasn't paying close attention and I don't remember the details... :blink:

Might be true, but maybe 25+ people being victems isn't true, I dunno...

 

Oh gag - this thing comes up every now and then with a new scenario - now it is Gas pumps. It used to be Pay phones - who uses THOSE any more?

It is ALWAYS a good idea to run over to Snopes when you get something like this sillyness.

Be assured - it is NOT true.
