Read on to see what the drug really is and how it works
A MUM has shared an urgent warning about the horrific new way criminals are trying to drug women on public transport.
Last week, Aysin Cilek, 22, and her daughter were riding a train to Moor Street in Birmingham when the alleged event occurred.
The single mother claims that a stranger approached her and that she now thinks the person was attempting to give her D.e.v.i.l’s B.r.e.a.t.h.
The substance, which is also known as scopolamine, has been dubbed the ‘world’s scariest d.r.u.g.’
Victims say it puts them in a zombie-like state and can make you confused and easy to manipulate, while others say it’s nothing but a myth.
But Aysin claims a man tried to drug her with it while travelling with her baby daughter, Neveah.
Taking to social media, she said: “Guys, the scariest thing happened to me today and I am literally just posting this for awareness, for other people, for other mums. Please be careful.”
Aysin said she got on the train and ‘everything was fine’ until a ‘dodgy looking’ man joined her carriage.
She added: “Just as we were getting to the next stop, he comes over and he’s like ‘hi’. He passes me a stamp but it’s obviously not a stamp – it literally looks like an acid tab.
“But I wasn’t thinking straight. He passes me this thing and I take it off him. I thought he was trying to sell me something. And he goes ‘Can you put my stamp on my letter?'”
Aysin initially agreed to help him out but soon backed out when he asked her to ‘l.i.c.k it.’
She said the man told her ‘you need to l.i.c.k it [the ‘stamp’]. You need to get it wet to stick it on there’.
Later on, she claims he may have had more sinister intentions.
She continued: “The ‘letter’ wasn’t even a letter, it was a piece of paper.
“This guy was definitely trying to drug me. It was just me and Nevaeh. I’m actually getting teary thinking about it. If I was that stupid to just lick the stamp and put it on, I could have been drugged, and Neveah could have been gone.
“This is serious guys, you need to be so careful when you’re out and about. I would never ever have imagined something like that would happen to me. I’ve never been so scared in my life.”
To make things even worse, the man kept peering into her pram, saying ‘don’t wake the baby’.
Now, the mum says she won’t be getting on public transport alone again and is afraid to leave her own house.
She claims that the British Transport Police are still looking into the incident after she reported it to them.
A police representative told MailOnline that a report had been filed.
With over 3 million views on her TikTok account @aysincilek2, the video went viral very fast, and users were quick to comment.
One person wrote: “This is actually so awful. Please report this. I’ve never heard of d.e.v.i.l’s b.r.e.a.t.h ever! I am so glad you and your baby are okay.”
Another commented: “This is so scary for people, especially who aren’t aware of d.e.v.i.l’s b.r.e.a.t.h. I’m so sorry that this happened to you.”
“Stop being “nice” to strange men you come across in the street. Ignore them and keep walking, especially if you’re with your child,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Do not take things that have been offered to you that’s all I say.”
“Legitimately never heard of this before this video so thank you for raising awareness!” claimed a fifth
Someone else added: “Scary, and worse still. If it was a grandparent might not have thought twice as we are old school and stamps always used to be licked.”
