๐ŸŽƒ Happy Halloween from the Piedmont Health District! ๐Ÿ‘ป

We want everyone to have a safe and fun night of trick-or-treating! Here are a few tips to help keep you and your family safe:

๐Ÿฌ Trick-or-Treating Safety
โ€ข Always walk in groups and stay with an adult.
โ€ข Use sidewalks whenever possible and cross streets at corners, following traffic signals.
โ€ข Carry a flashlight or glow sticks to help you see and be seen.

๐Ÿญ Candy Safety
โ€ข Wait until you get home to eat your treats so an adult can check them first.
โ€ข Only eat candy thatโ€™s sealed and in its original wrapper.
โ€ข Avoid homemade treats unless you know who made them.

Have a spooktacular Halloween, Piedmont! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿฆ‡

๐ŸŠ Meet Chip the Alligator! ๐ŸŠ

Itโ€™s Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, and the Piedmont Health District is excited to introduce you to Chip, the friendly alligator helping families across Virginia stay safe from lead!

Chip helps us spot the signs of lead-based paint โ€” those cracked, scaly surfaces that look like alligator skin ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‘€. If you see this around your home, it could be a sign of old, lead-based paint.

โœ… Take action:
โ€ข Talk to your childโ€™s healthcare provider about getting tested for lead exposure.
โ€ข Learn how to make your home lead-safe and protect your familyโ€™s health.

For more information about lead poisoning and to check out the new statewide campaign, visit the VDH Lead Safe webpage: ๐Ÿ”— www.vdh.virginia.gov/leadsafe

Together with Chip, we can keep our families and communities safe! ๐Ÿ’š
