do you address bogus emails about drugs?

Published

Once in a while, a few people I know who are generally paranoid, send out cautions about drugs and advise that I don't take them anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one getting these? I usually start with Snopes, and find them in about a half a second, but this person either 1) didn't take that step or 2) did and still doesn't care.

I always say "ALL DRUGS CARRY RISKS! CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY TYPE OF MEDICATION, EVEN ONE YOU CAN GET OVER THE COUNTER."

Should I even bother? :bugeyes:

good approach. If it is the same person over and over just ignore the email.
