Tune in to #FAACTsRoundtable Podcast on Exploring #AlphaGal Syndrome The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states, “Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic condition that can occur after a tick bite.” But how do you get AGS and tackle this condition? We’re exploring living with AGS with two change makers and AGS powerhouses, Candice Matthis and Debbie Nichols. They are the founders of Two Alpha-Gals and the new Alpha-Gal Foundation, which is committed to offering solutions. We’ll learn more about this growing community of support. This podcast is part 1 of a two-part series exploring life with Alpha-Gal Syndrome.

FAACT's Halloween Safety Tips Set the stage for a fun Halloween with these safety tips: 1. Bring epinephrine: Carry two epinephrine auto-injectors while trick-or-treating, to parties, at the mall, and anywhere else there may be Halloween candy. 2. NO snacking: Give your child incentive to wait until they get home before eating treats. Switch out unsafe candy for safe treats, toys, or even money. 3. Dress up: Can your child wear gloves to help avoid direct contact with allergens? Accessorize costumes with teal buttons, stickers, or other awareness items to let other parents know about food allergies. 4. Speak up: Have fun with a little role playing. If they see candy they know they can have, teach them to ask for it. If someone offers something they can’t have, they can say, “No, thank you. I have a food allergy.” 5. Discuss candy to avoid: It’s one thing to tell your child to avoid candy with peanuts, but do they know what the wrappers look like so they don’t accidentally grab one? Teach them to scan candy bowls for allergens and even avoid safe treats if they’re surrounded by unsafe candy. 6. Look around: Watch what other kids are eating nearby and scan for any candy/wrappers thrown on the ground. 7. Read ALL labels: Sometimes snack-sized candy is manufactured differently. Ingredients and manufacturing processes change. NEVER assume an item is safe just because it was safe last year. You may need to research some ingredient lists online. 8. Hand out non-food treats: Halloween-themed pencils, glow necklaces, rings, and temporary tattoos ensure every child can enjoy the fun. Avoid items like Play-Doh that contain food ingredients (and potential allergens). 9. Set up safe stops: Place small bags of safe candy at a few neighbors’ houses so your child can go there and get it. It also gives you a chance to educate neighbors about food allergies. 10. BYO treats: When friends or neighbors host a Halloween bash, bring allergen-free treats for the whole gang so your child won’t feel left out. (Be sure those treats are kept away from other foods.)

Alternative Halloween Traditions Consider changing up Halloween to put the focus on giving to others and bringing them joy. Whether your child stays home and passes out the allergy-friendly treats or goes trick or treating and donates all their loot, they can feel good about helping others. • Donate: Some dentists and other businesses offer a “Halloween Candy Buyback” and send the candy to U.S. troops overseas. Your child can even send a letter of encouragement to our troops! • Celebrate: Make it a family holiday. Have something fun for dinner, dress up in costumes or silly pajamas, and eat your favorite treats while watching a movie together. The excitement you bring to the idea will determine their excitement for doing it! You could say it like… “I have a great idea. What if we make Halloween…Famoween (or something silly)? We can watch all the kids come to the door and see all their cool costumes. It will be like a parade that comes right to our door! We can even pass out flyers that tell parents about food allergies. Then when it’s all over, we’ll make some popcorn, eat a bunch of your favorite candy, and watch your favorite movie together.” Not only would this be fun and safe, it would build lasting family memories.
