Allergies in February

This means even in the dead of winter you could suffer from intense allergies. February can kick up mold and dust allergies, especially as the tree pollen starts getting into the air. Around this time, you may start experiencing watery eyes, nasal congestion, and itchy skin.

Food Allergies
What’s the best part of trick-or-treating? For most kids, it’s dumping out your goodie bag of yummy treats at the end of the night.

But for children allergic to foods like nuts, dairy, chocolate, certain dyes, or even soy, parents are forced to examine labels.

Help alleviate parental fears and make their task easier by giving out allergen-free treats like:

Swedish Fish
Mott’s Medleys fruit snacks
Black Forest Gummy Worms
Ring Pops
Treat small goblins to healthy snacks like apples, craisin, or raisin boxes. This will ensure all of your trick-or-treaters can enjoy something sweet.
