👻 Halloween Safety Tips! 🎃

Halloween is all about fun, costumes, and candy — but safety comes first!
Before your little ghosts and goblins head out, keep these tips in mind:

🕯️ Costume Safety
✨ Add reflective tape or glow sticks so kids are easy to spot
🎭 Use face paint instead of masks to keep vision clear
👟 Make sure costumes fit and are trip-free

🍬 Trick-or-Treat Tips
🚸 Stick with a trusted adult or a group of friends
🏡 Stay in well-lit, familiar neighborhoods
🍭 Check all candy before eating — when in doubt, throw it out!

🚗 For Drivers: Slow down and stay alert — excited trick-or-treaters can be hard to see.

Have a safe, spooky, and sweet Halloween from all of us at Circleville Pediatrics! 🧡👻

NEWS ALERT!
FARE continues to hear that food allergy patients and caregivers face barriers getting epinephrine nasal spray, neffy, especially due to prior authorization requirements. ARS Pharmaceuticals has shared two updates aimed at improving access that we wanted to pass along the community. The first is a free telehealth option through Upscript, which helps reduce the need for an additional office visit. Upscript will also handle any prior authorization requirements so your doctor does not have to work directly with the insurance company. The second, a ‘Co-Pay Savings Program,’ that can reduce the cost to $0 in some cases for participants.
FARE will continue to monitor access issues and share updates that may help reduce barriers for our community.
