It’s just two weeks away from Halloween and while COVID-19 recommendations might be at the front of your list this year there are still some safety updates you should know before you head out this holiday. Halloween is a time for fun, frights and spooky sights and while many decided to skip last year’s festivities because of COVID-19. This year spirits are high, but there are some things health professionals want parents to be aware of. Last year the Poison Control Center reported 51 calls on Halloween. And one of the most common calls it gets on Halloween involves an item meant to help protect kids from cars as they’re making their way through neighborhoods. “What you have is kind of the perfect storm right, you have all of these glow-sticks all these kids and just by probability some are gonna break. We occasionally get people try to eat them,” said Dr. Stephen Thornton.
