As Halloween approaches, many people are excited to decorate their homes and dress up for the festivities. However, a doctor has issued a warning that some common Halloween decorations could trigger health symptoms that might be easily mistaken for a cold or allergy.
Certain materials used in decorations, such as scented candles, artificial pumpkins, and dried flowers, can release allergens or irritants into the air. These can cause symptoms like sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose. People with asthma, allergies, or respiratory conditions should be especially careful when choosing decorations this year.
To enjoy a safe Halloween, experts recommend opting for hypoallergenic decorations and ensuring good ventilation in your home. Being mindful of the materials you bring into your living space can help prevent unwanted health issues this festive season.
