Halloween food allergy tips for parents

Halloween food allergy tips for parents

LOUISVILLE, KY – Trick-or-treating on Halloween can be one of your child’s most cherished memories.  However, if parents are not properly prepared, the night can turn scary for reasons other than ghouls and goblins.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as many as six million children suffer from food allergies, with studies showing an increase in peanut allergies among youth in recent years. Many candies contain peanuts and other allergens that put children—even those without a diagnosed allergy—at risk for an anaphylactic reaction.

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction most commonly caused by food. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue and throat, hives, vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, loss of consciousness and in some cases even death. Reactions are rapid in onset and are therefore considered life-threatening.

“We suggest not allowing the kids to eat any candy until they get home.
