Question - I typically buy some non-candy treats (stamps, bubbles, slap bracelet type things) and put it in our bowl that we offer. The candy we hand out is prepackaged stuff like snickers, starburst. Based on some of your responses, that wouldn’t be allowed? Because they are mixed?

Best bet for kiddos with really major life threatening allergies is too keep it away from the candy. Till you live with someone who can die ( or even just react with hives or horrible stomach issues) it seems crazy but after you've lived it it's totally reasonable. ...... People don't think of things like cross contamination from wrappers very often bc for most of us it would never be an issue...... The other issue with things like nut allergies is the more times you use an epi pen the higher the chance one won't work. The last time we used my epi pen we hit me with it, called 911, used a second epi pen bc the first wasn't working and the medics have me more in the ambulance. Scccaaarrrryyy!!!
