Halloween should be a fun experience for children and adults. You and your family can prevent problems by following a few Halloween health and safety tips. Staying safe will enhance the fun for everyone.
When you go out trick-or-treating stay in a group or have an adult nearby. Carry a flashlight and use caution crossing streets. Do not go inside the home of anyone you do not know.
Check the safety of all costumes before heading out. Visibility is critical; avoid masks that limit your view. Make sure that outfits do not present a trip hazard. Check all accessories for sharp edges. Stay a safe distance from bonfires or candles and wear flame-resistant costumes. Test makeup in a small area before applying it heavily to avoid an allergic reaction.
Check all treats before eating them. Discard unwrapped items or anything that appears to have been tampered with. Enjoy your treats but do not overdo it, too much candy at one time could be harmful. Encourage your children to donate extra treats to Operation Gratitude. This organization gathers and sends treats to U.S. military personnel. Check with your dentist’s office for collection centers.
