Halloween brings jack-o-lantems,
whimsical costumes, and visits from
young neighbors in disguise. The
Nassau County Department of Health
offers parents these Halloween safety
tips to help keep this holiday safe and
enjoyable.
Jack-o-lantems - Decorate
pumpkins by painting faces rather
than carving. If a child wants a carved
jack-o-lantem, let an adult do the
carving, or let the child use a knife especially
designed for use by young
children and sold in selected stores.
Use a small flashlight inside a pumpkin
instead of a candle which may pose a
fire hazard. If a candle is used, light it
only for short periods, and keep it
away from unsupervised youngsters
as well as flammable furnishings.
Halloween costumes — In
choosing costumes, keep safety in
mind. Trick-or-treaters need to see
and be seen. If a mask is part of a costume,
make sure it will not slip and
cover the eyes. The eye holes should
be large enough to see-through
clearly. Consider using face paints or
cosmetics to create an original
"mask". Hats and scarves should also
be tied firmly, so that they do not restrict
vision. Select light colored costumes
and add reflective tape which
can be more easily seen by motorists.
Visiting neighborhoods -
Smaller children need a supervising
adult with them when trick or treating.
Have children carry flashlights to light
their way and be more visible to motorists.
Walk on sidewalks where available.
Walk, not run, from house to
house. If children must walk on a road,
walk facing traffic. Trick-or-treaters
should go only to houses where they
know the residents, and where the
outside light is on or a door is open as
a welcome sign. Children should stay
on the porch on outside steps to get
their treats, and never go into a home
without and adult.
Treats - For treats, parents
should consider healthy options to
candy. Healthful prepackaged snacks
such as raisins, or treats such as
coins, stickers, sports cards or coupons
from local businesses are a welcome
alternative. Children should be
s warned not to eat any food until it has
been inspected at home by an adult.
Unwrapped treats and those showing
signs of tampering should be discarded.
