97.5 Y-Country Medical Minute – Halloween Safety

Aired 10.29.2018

Happy Halloween! This week’s Y-Country Medical Minute quickly discusses helpful tips on how to keep you and your family safe this Halloween.

 Costume

• Wear well-fitted masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
• Accessories should be short, soft, and flexible. (Swords, Knives, Fairy Wands)

Safe Trick-Or-Treating

• Make sure to examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
• Always trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult. Never trick-or-treat alone.
• Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
• Use a flashlight to see where you are going and also for drivers to see you.
• Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made my strangers.
• Always use sidewalks if available, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
