Parents should inspect all treats before they are eaten. Eat only those treats in their original, unopened wrappers. Throw away candy if wrappers are faded, have holes or tears, or signs of re-wrapping. Throw away all unwrapped candy. Check fruits and homemade treats carefully to make sure that foreign objects such as pins, tacks and razor blades are not present.
Drugs can look like candy.
Anything that looks suspicious should be thrown away. Some treats, especially chocolate, can be poisonous to pets. Costumes Face paints, glues and glitters should be made of non-toxic material. Parents should be aware that some children have allergic reactions to these products, such as a rash or itching. If this occurs, remove the makeup immediately and thoroughly clean the skin with mild soap and water.
