October 17, 2024

Halloween can be a spooky time for kids with allergies. Here are some safe Halloween tips to ensure your little monsters have a howling good time without any allergy scares:

*Costume Safety*

  • Choose costumes made from hypoallergenic materials like cotton or synthetic fibers.
  • Avoid costumes with latex, gluten, or dairy products if your child has a food allergy.
  • Opt for makeup instead of masks to avoid skin irritation.

*Treats and Snacks*

  • Only give out allergy-friendly treats like gluten-free candies or non-food items like stickers or pencils.
  • If your child has a food allergy, ensure they only consume treats you’ve approved.
  • Pack safe snacks for your child to enjoy while trick-or-treating.

*Party Safety*

  • If attending a Halloween party, inform the host about your child’s allergies.
  • Ensure the party games and activities don’t involve allergens like latex or gluten.
  • Have a first-aid kit and emergency contact information on hand.

*Trick-or-Treating Safety*

  • Accompany your child while trick-or-treating to monitor their allergy exposure.
  • Teach your child to say “no” to suspicious or homemade treats.
  • Carry an EpiPen or other emergency medication if necessary.

By following these safe Halloween tips, your little goblins can enjoy a spook-tacular time without any allergy worries!
