The mum-of-one says she was approached by a stranger who she now believes was trying to drug her with Devil's Breath.
The substance, which is also known as scopolamine, has been dubbed the 'world's scariest drug.'
Victims say it puts them in a zombie-like state and can make you confused and easy to manipulate, while others say it's nothing but a myth.
But Aysin claims a man tried to drug her with it while travelling with her baby daughter, Neveah.
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'.

Later on, she claims he may have had more sinister intentions.
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'.
Now, the mum says she won't be getting on public transport alone again and is afraid to leave her own house.
She says she reported the incident to the British Transport Police and enquiries are ongoing.
A spokesperson for the police confirmed to the MailOnline that a complaint was made.
The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @aysincilek2 with over 3 million views and people were quick to share their thoughts.
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.

Meanwhile a fourth said: "Do not take things that have been offered to you that's all I say."
"Legitimately never heard of this before this video so thank you for raising awareness!' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Scary, and worse still. If it was a grandparent might not have thought twice as we are old school and stamps always used to be licked."
