Several food allergy safety tips involve bringing epinephrine, which you should always have with you. If you have food allergies, avoid eating treats on the go and wait until you get home to avoid confusing sweets that may contain food allergens.
Parents should check candy and labels. If you are going to a party, remember to bring extra goodies and only eat packaged and labeled goodies.
If you don’t want to bother handing out candy and food on Halloween, encourage your neighbors to offer non-food treats that include Halloween-themed pencils, glowing necklaces or bracelets, or Halloween trinkets (spiders, rings, temporary tattoos) may include) for trick or treating.
Allergy to bees
In the fall, stinging insects can be more aggressive, and if you’ve had a severe reaction to a sting from a bee, wasp, yellow jacket, or fire ant, Dilley Allergy and Asthma offers immunotherapy that can desensitize you to these insects.
