Hi shalini, I doubt there are any real solutions to the problem here. Blanket advice on not eating things from strangers usually does not work. Why was the person wearing gold in the buss? That seems to be more dangerous. Sensible security precautions were not taken and he paid the price. Mind you, this could have happened to a sighted person as well. The only question is did the person poison the biscuit at that time or did he have it with him to use on a victim? If the biscuit was poisoned on the fly, then yes, a sighted person may have detected this and have refused to eat. However, I have heard of a neighbor whose fully sighted son was poisoned in this fashion on a train. So, be sensible about wearing jewelry and exercise heightened situational awareness when travelling.
I have tried to maximize my independence by the use of technology so that I do not have to interface with any humans on the road but that goal remains some distance away especially given our road and traffic conditions.
