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 'lick it.'
She said the man told her 'you need to lick it [the 'stamp']. You need to get it wet to stick it on there'.

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'.

One person wrote: "This is actually so awful. Please report this. I've never heard of devil's breath 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 devil's breath. 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.
What is Devil's Breath?
REPORTS of the Devil's Breath drug have been seen across South American, Europe and even in the UK.
Some people may take the drug on purpose for a "dream-like state" it can induce, mistakenly thinking it will be like mainstream hallucinogens like LSD.
But Devil's Breath hallucinations tend to be far more disturbing and disjointed, often manifesting as nightmarish visions or confusing scenarios that blur the lines of reality.
It may also be taken by mistake due to its close resemblance to cocaine.
The correct dosage of the drug is notoriously hard to pin down, and even a slight miscalculation can lead to an overdose.
This can lead to respiratory failure, acute psychosis and even death.
Symptoms may include dry mouth, difficulty speaking, lethargy, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat and disorientation.

Neonatal nurse, 26, ‘filmed herself abusing babies in French hospital and sent sick videos to her boyfriend'
The shocking alleged crimes were brought into the spotlight after videos circulated on TikTok TWISTED MIND Neonatal nurse, 26, 'filmed herself abusing babies in French hospital and sent sick videos to her boyfriend' A NURSE has been charged with child abuse in France after sharing horrifying videos of herself abusing infants with her boyfriend. The 26-year-old neonatal nurse is accused of abusing the babies at the André Grégoire Hospital in the Parisian suburb of Montreuil. 2 Hospital management added that worried mothers had been calling the facility Credit: AFP 2 Protesters are pictured gathering at the hospital following the shocking news Credit: The case that shocked France has sparked outrage in Paris, with protesters storming into the hospital. The woman has been charged with suspected sexual assault on minors and distribution of child abuse images. Meanwhile, her partner has been charged with complicity in the sexual instigation of minors. The nurse reportedly showed up at a police station to confess after several videos appeared on TikTok warning of "a scandal in a hospital in the 93rd arrondissement". She also accused her 28-year-old boyfriend of involvement when she went to the cops earlier this week. The couple allegedly shared the clips of the horrifying crimes with each other. But these videos got leaked onto social media, bringing the appalling acts into the spotlight. Videos began circulating on TikTok claiming "two people who work with infants" were mistreating infants. After these videos went viral online, the nurse reportedly went to the police to report the shocking crimes. The appalling acts are said to have taken place in December 2024 and January 2025. And these clips have viscerally angered many people in France, with protesters making their way to the hospital on Saturday. Furious demonstrators entered the premises and demanded an interview with management, Actu Paris has reported. Families were among those who protested at the hospital. But the demonstrators were peacefully evacuated from the building without their request being granted. Two victims have reportedly been identified following analysis of the videos. The nurse, who has since been suspended from her role, reportedly indicated to cops that she had filmed the abuse and sent it to her partner. Both suspects have appeared before court since being taken into police custody. They have been placed under judicial supervision, despite the prosecution requesting pre-trial detention. An investigation into the events is ongoing. The Grand Paris Nord-Est territorial hospital group said on Friday that "this nurse worked exclusively in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Montreuil hospital", Le Monde has reported. Hospital management added that worried mothers had been calling the facility "even though they had sometimes given birth there a year ago". They said: "The actions of this nurse, if confirmed by the ongoing police investigation, are a serious personal error that the hospital strongly condemns. "They are in no way a collective service practice." The nurse was suspended as a "precautionary measure" pending the investigation. According to the Bobigny prosecutor's office, the appalling acts would have taken place in December 2024 and January 2025. While there had been speculation of a racial dimension to the alleged crime, this has been denied by the prosecutor's office. "There is no racial element in the act," they said.

Lies spread on social media led to attack on man in Limerick
An Afghan man was assaulted in Limerick after baseless claims were spread about him on social media. The 64-year-old man received injuries, including a broken nose, in the attack in early July, following claims online that he had been behaving inappropriately towards children, a claim which was later debunked by gardaí. Analysis of the online discussions around the incident, conducted jointly by the Hope and Courage Collective and Doras, shows how social media, racial profiling and co-ordinated vigilante activity led to the attack. The man, who is seeking international protection in Ireland, was harassed, filmed, and publicly identified before the assault following a fabricated Facebook post which accused him of inappropriate behaviour towards children. Within hours, the claim was pushed across TikTok, Instagram and X with one video reaching over 249,000 views. On July 1, he was surrounded and assaulted in public, sustaining a broken nose and later relocated for his own safety. Self-proclaimed 'community watch' groups filmed the man, circulated his image and framed the assault as a 'citizen's arrest". The report's authors say that "despite multiple reports, violent content remained online". 'This was not a one-off incident. It is the result of a disinformation network that uses fear and racism to justify violence,' said Edel McGinley, Director of Hope and Courage Collective, which monitors far right activity. What we're seeing is the rise of co-ordinated vigilantism in Ireland, hiding behind the language of community safety. In the days prior to the attack, the victim was harassed in a local park, and filmed, with footage posted to social media. A false allegation began on the afternoon of Sunday, June 29, when a woman uploaded a photo of the man alongside a fabricated story. This led to a member of the self-styled "community watch" group Sinne Na Daoine calling on the "men of Limerick" to "protect its own". By the following day, a prominent Irish far right account on X claimed in a post that a 'Muslim was cat calling children in People's Park' and said the slow Garda response was 'pushing society into vigilantism'. The post was viewed 190,400 times before being deleted. After the original post was circulated, a group confronted the Afghan man and called the Gardaí while filming, but the man walked to the station himself for his own safety. Later, a video showing him leaving the station was misrepresented as a 'citizen's arrest'. 'This man was seeking safety in Ireland and instead found himself at the centre of an online disinformation campaign that turned violent,' said John Lannon, chief executive of the migrant support group, Doras. He was treated with suspicion, fear, and hostility simply because of how he looked. The report found that the victim was later re-identified and harassed again in a different city. The authors of the report said that "what is evident in this case is that the Irish far right uses neutral incidents to frame a false and dangerous narrative that is used to justify profiling, harassment and violent assault". Ms McGinley said that disinformation is amplified online and called on European Commissioner Michael McGrath to intervene. 'As a matter of urgency we need to tackle the toxic recommender system that pushes hate and disinformation into people's social media feeds. People should be able to have control of what they see, not companies, driven by profit."
