HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS - Continued

If your child is intent on wearing a costume that has a lot of accessories, try to limit the amount that accompanies him/her during trick-or-treating. The load can get rather heavy for your child as the night wears on.

Smather insect repellent, specifically those products containing DEET onto you and your child. It’s hard to reach an itch in a Halloween costume and you’ll keep your risks low in regards to the West Nile Virus.

A small bottle or canteen of water for each child (and you) could come in handy.

In the event that you become separated from your child (and yes, it’s a definite God Forbid occurrence) be sure and place a sheet that contains your address, phone number and enough change to make a phone call, somewhere on your child – but not in the Halloween bag/bucket. Your child may accidentally eat the note.

Limit trick-or-treating to areas that you know.

If you are driving, especially in a residential area, take special care. They are usually a few pranksters who enjoy pumpkin and egg tosses. Also, the streets tend to be very jammed-packed with cars, and little ghosts and goblins and other parents who have that deer in the headlight look on their face.

Check the candy stash closely for potential hazards, the worst tricks of all.

Some of the top foods that children choke on are: nuts, popcorn, ALL hard candy, grapes, cheese sticks and peanut butter. Do not allow any child under the age of six to eat these items without adult supervision.
