The vast, vast majority of people are good to each other. :) Thanks so much! It is absolutely wise to check it, but poisonings are pretty darned unlikely.

As you may know, Snopes is one of my favorite resources! I checked it out and was interested to find that overall, you are correct. I did find another article on Snopes, though, pointing out that there have been many documented cases of tampering - http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/needles.asp . Mostly by siblings and "friends" as a sort of practical joke, sometimes worse. So it's still wise to check any candy your grandkids / kids may bring home. One thing I found especially interesting in your article was that the Tylenol tamperings were a big reason behind at least some of the fears and rumors. Being a member of the Baby Boomer Generation, I still remember being chilled to the bone by that situation! Thanks again for the interesting update. :) :) :) Hi Laura, Thanks for that interesting info. As you may know, Snopes is one of my favorite resources!

Please do correct this perpetuating myth and stop the cycle of fear of our neighbors. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/poison/halloween.asp Thank you! Hi,
