Look out for non-orange pumpkins this Halloween
On October 31, families will join millions across the country to dress up in their spookiest outfits and head out into their neighbourhood for a spot of trick or treating. And most will be familiar with the sight of orange pumpkins lit up with candles and lanterns.
But if you see a youngster out and about at Halloween, carrying a blue, teal and purple pumpkin or similar coloured bucket for collecting treats, it signals that child may have additional needs, allergies or other health conditions. Teal and purple pumpkins represent allergies and food intolerances, with parents keen for their neighbours to be aware when they are heading out treats. A purple pumpkin can also signify that a child is carrying an epi-pen.
