Precautions for a Safe Halloween in Texas
TDH official Harold R. Ray warns parents to supervise trick or treating to prevent accidents. Use flashlights for visibility and safety, and ensure costumes are fireproof with reflector strips. Teach crossing at crosswalks, facing traffic where no sidewalks exist, and avoid crossing between parked cars. Eat wrapped treats only, wash and portion unwrapped items. Consider neighborhood or church events for safe, supervised costumes and activities.
