Allow your child to eat such items only if someone you know and trust offered them. • Some treats (for example, chocolate) can be poisonous to pets. Glow Sticks or Light Sticks Makeup • Some makeup products can cause mild to serious problems. When choosing Halloween makeup, look for makeup that is not poisonous (non-toxic). • Wash skin with soap and water right away if a rash or other changes in the skin develop. Symptoms that could be expected from an allergy or sensitivity to a makeup product commonly include: swollen skin, small bumps on the skin, and itching. Thanksgiving • Thaw turkey in the refrigerator. Allow 1-3 days for thawing. If there is less time, put the turkey in a plastic bag. Cover it with cold water. Keep ice in the water so it stays cold. • Wash hands AFTER handling turkey or any meat. • Stuffing should always be cooked and stored separately from turkey. • Follow cooking directions for turkey on the label. • Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness. Place the thermometer inside the thigh. Or place it in the thickest part of the breast. The turkey is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees Fat the minimum. Holiday Decorations • Most modern ornaments are made with non-poisonous materials. But ornaments more than 25 years old may contain lead. • Use fake snow only in a well-vented space. The fumes from this product can be dangerous. After the snow has dried, small amounts are not harmful if swallowed. |
