Some treats, especially chocolates, can be poisonous to pets. If your children use make-up rather than a mask, watch out for possible skin irritation, such as a rash or itching. If this occurs, remove the make-up immediately and thoroughly cleanse the area with soap and water. Call the Poison Center immediately for further advice. Dry ice can be used in punch bowls but should not be used in individual glasses.
Frostbite can occur if skin comes into contact with the dry ice.
If this should happen, rinse with lukewarm water and call the Poison Center. Carry a flashlight after dusk and watch for cars. Try to finish before dark. If you suspect your child has been poisoned, call the Central Texas Poison Center immediately. Again, we wish you a safe and Happy Halloween.
