SEATTLE — Halloween is here, and there are many excited kids across western Washington getting ready to don their costumes and hit the streets for trick-or-treating.

Before you head out the door, take a few minutes to make sure your night is filled with treats and not tricks.

One in 13 kids have food allergies or intolerance, according to The Polyclinic in Seattle.

The Teal Pumpkin Project, which was created by the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) organization suggests placing a teal-colored pumpkin in front of your door, indicating you have allergy-friendly candy or foods and non-edible treats, like small toys, glow sticks or even Pokémon cards.

“It’s always nice for kids to get things like stickers, washable tattoos, something that is not a food item,” Dr. Lisa Shen-Vasen with The Polyclinic said.

If you’re using face paint, be careful with products that contain metal, such as nickel.

“If you’re not sure if your kid is going to react, our recommendation is to try a little bit on an area of the skin — maybe not the face; the hand or something,” Shen- Vasen said.

With sunset right before 6 p.m. on Halloween night, it’s going to get dark earlier. Make sure your kids’ costumes are safe. That includes making sure they’re not too long to avoid tripping.

If your child has a dark costume, make sure they’re illuminated so drivers can see them. A great way to do that is with glow sticks.
