Halloween Study Shows Moms Not Ready for Kids Allergy Risks

For more info visit www.newsinfusion.com Kids love Halloween. But for children with severe food allergies, the season can be an emotionally troubling time as these children are faced with the temptation of delicious treats they can’t eat and parties they can’t fully enjoy. This is also a frightening and anxious time for many parents who fear that their child might feel alienated or sneak a forbidden candy while at school or trick-or-treating. If your child has a food allergy, then the candy he or she brings home from trick-or-treating may be more frightening to you than any ghost or goblin. Ingredients like peanuts, tree nuts and even milk – common in many Halloween treats – can trigger severe allergy attacks. But unless you carefully scour the labels on everything your child brings home and lean over his or her shoulder at every Halloween get-together, you may miss some hidden dangers. Stacy DeBroff, parenting expert and author, discusses new survey results that show moms are not exactly ready for all the allergy risks associated with Halloween.
