Protect Tricksters and Treaters this Halloween
Have you carved your pumpkin yet?We used to live in a much warmer climate where carved jack-o-lanterns disintegrated overnight. Here's a great tip: coat the inside of the carved pumpkin with Lysol spray and it will survive long enough to be smashed by mischievous teens!
Halloween...how bizarre!
The unique thing about Halloween is that I cannot think of another holiday that combines so much fun with the prospect of so much danger:
- Tampered candy
- Child abductions
- Drunk driving (yes, Halloween is #1 beer sales day in USA taverns)
- Accidental falls
- Pedestrian injuries
- Costume fires
- Eye infections
By now every household should be familiar with all the necessary Halloween safety precautions:
- Supervised trick-or-treating
- Fireproof costumes
- Flashlights and reflective garments
- Careful treat inspection afterwards
- ...and ignore the cosmetic contact lenses!
Click here for my warning about cosmetic contacts from Halloween past. The message remains important. Fun seekers want to complete their costume with wild decorative contact lenses. Ghosts and goblins, beware! Without careful fitting and thoughtful handling these contact lenses may contribute to a serious eye infection.
BOOOOO! I hope you have a fun and sensible Halloween!
