Halloween is a magical day for many children and a few precautions will help keep it that way. According to the US Census Bureau, more than 41 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 trick-or-treat each year.

Luckily, many of these Halloween-related bumps and bruises can be prevented. To ensure the day is filled with fun, follow these safety precautions from Douglas Holtzman, MD, a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Summerville Medical Center in Summerville, South Carolina.
