If you spot a teal pumpkin while trick-or-treating this Halloween, here's what it means:
“That means if you have 50 trick-or-treaters come to your house on Halloween night, four have some sort of food allergy. If you have 100 visit your house, it’s seven or eight. That’s significant. That’s a lot of children who could be given treats that aren’t safe for them” says Erin Malawer, the mother of a child with a peanut allergy and author of the popular food allergy blog Allergy Shmallergy.
“This is not a carefree holiday for allergy families,” Malawer says. “While other families just have to put a costume on their children and remember to grab a flashlight, we worry our children could have to go to the ER and could even die from just taking a bite or touching something that has their allergen in it or residue of that allergen.”
Stephanie McDowell agrees inclusion is important, especially around big events like Halloween. Her 8½-year-old son, Teddy, has required a feeding tube since birth because of eosinophilic esophagitis, a chronic immune disease associated with multiple food allergies, and she says it’s been heartbreaking to see how much he’s been excluded from in his young life.
Shih says there are many other ways to ensure a safe Halloween for children who can’t eat all candy offered.Before Halloween, talk with close neighbors about what your child can have and perhaps even give them some nonfood items they can share with your child when they knock on their door.
