I have some friends that are dead convinced that there is someone out there leaving infected AIDS needles on everything (Gas pumps, mailboxes, even on the dancefloor!)...they're scared silly! How do I help them understand there's nothing to be afraid of - that there has never been a case of this?
Thanks!

Most times when someone is so easily swayed there is not much you can do to change their mind . Just be their friend and don't buy into the crap .

Snopes.com is the most reliable urban myth debunker I have ever seen.
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/gaspump.asp for the story about the needles.
Whenever I get an email which contains the words "send this to everyone you know," immediately I turn to Snopes to disprove the story and send it to everyone on the forwarded "TO:" list.
