Remember the old tradition of having your Halloween candy X-rayed?
It is still a good idea.
Before the kids are allowed to eat any candy- round them up and carpool with neighbors to the hospital to get the loot X-rayed.
The X-ray will reveal any needles, razor blades, or metal filings in the treats.
Is there a test for weed killer or rat poison? Ask about it.
