🎃 Stay Spooky — But Safe! Halloween Health Tips for the Whole Family
Halloween is a time for costumes, candy, and community fun — but it can also bring a few health scares if we’re not careful. At Mainstreet Medical Clinic, we want everyone to enjoy the festivities safely. Here are a few quick tips to keep your Halloween healthy and happy:
1. Keep Trick-or-Treating Safe
Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid trips and falls. Add reflective tape or carry glow sticks so drivers can see you after dark. Always check candy before eating — toss anything unwrapped or suspicious.
2. Don’t Let Sugar Haunt You
Enjoy your treats in moderation! Too much candy can lead to stomachaches, fatigue, and blood sugar spikes. Encourage kids to pick a few favorites and save the rest for later.
3. Protect Against the Weather
Temperatures can drop quickly this time of year. Layer up under costumes, and make sure little ones have warm accessories like hats or gloves if needed.
4. Keep Your Immune System Strong
Halloween marks the start of flu season! Schedule your flu shot and keep up with handwashing — especially after handling candy and decorations.
5. Know When to Visit Us
