Happy Halloween? Not if allergies get in way .


Other allergy threats on Halloween include dust mites in costumes that have been spent time in storage, nickel in tiaras, wands, and other costume accessories, and "cheap Halloween makeup."

Some kids are allergic to latex, which is found in some balloons and rubber toys - another thing parents may want to consider.

"When people think of Halloween-associated allergies, they focus on candy and often overlook many other potential triggers," Dr. Myron Zitt, past president of the College, said in a written statement published on the organization's website.
