I’ve had this fear since childhood since it was always reinforced though society never to trust strangers. Don’t accept food from strangers. My family used to and was encouraged to check ever piece of my Halloween candy to make sure they were ok.

Never leave your drink unattended at a bar.

My parents told me that when my uncle got a green card and was leaving for America, his jealous friends gave him a drink and put glass in it. 

I am super vigilant about anything given to me that wasn’t from my family or from a trusted source (e.g. food served a party by an organization, etc). 

Super paranoid about accepting food from people I’ve only known a short while.

Are these fears normal??
