Are you up to date on your Warrensville Heights Halloween Safety? There are a variety of Halloween Safety Tips to follow to ensure you, your pets, and your children have a safe Trick-or-Treat this season:
- Walk in groups or with a trusted adult when Trick-or-Treating.
- Attach reflective tape to pet collars, costumes, and bags so drivers can see you when out after sunset
- Examine all treats for tampering or choking hazards. Avoid ingesting any treats that are not factory-wrapped.
- Wear proper Trick-or-Treat clothing, avoid decorative contact lenses, and avoid ill-fitting clothing to prevent tripping.
- Bring a flashlight so people can see you and you can see them as you walk from house to house if after sunset.
- Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible.
- Never accept rides from strangers or enter a stranger’s home. Avoid stopping at dark houses.
- Never walk near lit candles or luminaries as some costumes are not flame-resistant.
Although many of these tips apply to those who are Trick-or-Treating this season, you should still exercise safety when participating in that big Halloween bash you’ll be attending in Cleveland! Some of these Halloween Food Safety Tips include:
- Making sure cider or juice served says it has been pasteurized or treated to destroy bacteria that could potentially harm you.
- Don’t eat raw cookie dough, cake batter, or other food products with raw eggs.
- Rinse apples and other raw fruits and vegetables thoroughly by running them under cool water and removing the surface dirt with a produce brush before using them for party games like Bobbing for Apples.
- Keep perishable foods chilled until ready to serve to avoid bacteria growth. Some of these items include cheeses, fruit/tossed salad, meat products, cream pies, dairy products and products with eggs in it. Never leave these foods and other cold foods that require refrigeration at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
