According to experts from the ACAAI, halloween trappings such as dusty costumes, fog machines and makeup can trigger asthma and allergies. Regarding this matter, experts have advised about planning ahead and considering not only safe treats, but also safe costumes, makeup, accessories and decorations.
Below are a few things that allergy and asthma-conscious parents must watch out for:
Although a less common trigger, gelatin in gummy bears and other candies contains allergens that could be harmful to your child.
Look for alternative costume details and accessories (i.e. belts, tiaras and swords) that doesn't contain nickel. Nickel is among the common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. So better stay away from Halloween gears that contain nickel.
For sure you can find ways of letting your kids enjoy Halloween this year without the dreaded allergy or asthma attack.

This trend is due to climate change, according to researchers at the National Academy of Sciences. Managing your allergies on a day-to-day basis can be difficult, but it's certainly possible. Some tips for coping include knowing what triggers your allergies. Just because you sneeze during spring doesn't mean you're allergic to flowers or pollen. You could also be allergic to mold or fungus, and grass and trees are other common spring allergy triggers. Once you visit your allergist and get a skin prick test, you can determine exactly what you're allergic to which will help you to avoid these triggers.
