halloween the medical nightmare

Yes, it's that time of year again. Sugar, more sugar and a smattering of every allergen created just for good measure. Here are some tips to help you, the parent, of a allergy prone child.

1. Make sure your child doesn't 'eat on the road'; ask them to bring it all back and bribe them (if necessary) with additional treats at home. Because what you'll need to do at home is swap out the candy you can't allow for safe treats.

2. Read the ingredients of the booty bag before consumption - on the basis that Halloween often brings out the cheaper non-branded candies and they may contain ingredients your child can't cope with.

3. Refresh yourself on how to administer emergency treatment. You never know.

4. If your child is super allergic but you don't want them to miss out on the fun, host a scary movie night at your place in conjunction with other parents and supply the treats you know can be tolerated.

5. Make sure your child is wearing a medical ID bracelet. Better safe than sorry.

"The fact that all my medical records are in one place with MedibandPlus.com in the event of an emergency either here at home or while traveling is convenient. No more memorization. Paramedics just need to access my account for the information needed. The option of a reversible or write-on band keeps my medical problems discreet, unlike metal bracelets or necklaces. "
