This comes up every year about this time... and we?discussed this on NPR?in 2023. There have been no verified reports of fentanyl in Halloween candy. Why? This sticker from Claire Zagorski says it all: "Drugs are expensive. No one is putting them in your kid's candy."

There are things you can?actually do?to protect your children:

• Reflective strips and lights on costumes to be visible on streets
• Don't eat unwrapped candy, because, gross.
• Looking over your kid's candy together offers opportunity for conversation
• Put a one-night sugar binge in the context of healthy diet habits
• Trunk-or-treats are out there, if that's your thing
• Brushing teeth at the end of the night
• Be thankful we are better off now, remembering Halloween was cancelled this time 4 years ago
