Halloween Safety Message

10/30/2017

0 Comments

 
​Marijuana Candy
 
There have been multiple recent reports of candy and other edible forms of marijuana in New Jersey and nearby states.  These edible forms of marijuana pose a great risk to users, especially children who could accidentally receive them during the Halloween season.  Marijuana candy contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the main active ingredient that causes a high.  The THC levels in marijuana candy can be as high as 90 percent compared to 10-20 percent found in marijuana vegetation.1
 
Marijuana candy products can come in many forms, including but not limited to, cookies, brownies, lollipops, gummies, chocolates, and other hard candies.  Symptoms of ingested marijuana candy include dizziness, shallow breathing, red eyes and dilated pupils, dry mouth, increased appetite, and slow reaction time.  Other effects include distorted sense of time, random thinking, paranoia, anxiety, depression, and short-term forgetfulness. 

  • In May 2017, a ten-year-old boy from Ramapo, New York was sent to the emergency room after ingesting a marijuana-infused sour gummy candy.  The boy experienced symptoms of nervousness and nausea. 2

Recommendations for Halloween Candy
  • Adults should check for unusual candy packaging, such as homemade, plastic bag packages. 
  • Adults should also check for an odor that is similar to the smell of a marijuana plant.
  • Read the packaging of name brand candy, as it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the difference based on appearance alone.
  • Wear vinyl or non-latex gloves when checking the candy.
  • Immediately contact your local police department if you believe that your child has received marijuana candy. 
  • Immediately seek medical assistance if you believe that you or your child has ingested marijuana candy. 3

Flu Vaccination

10/17/2017

1 Comment

 
​Stopping the flu starts with you!
 
The #1 way to protect yourself and your family from the flu is to get vaccinated each year.
The Chester County Health Department is offering flu vaccinations for the entire family at schools and community sites from October through November. Clinics are open to the entire community without an appointment. Flu vaccines are also available by appointment at the Health Department.

Flu is a very serious disease that strikes even healthy people. The single most effective protection for the flu is getting the flu vaccine. It is recommended that all people aged 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine every year.

The Health Department will have flu vaccine available for people as young as six months old and special high-dose vaccine for seniors. People with private health insurance should bring their insurance card for billing. The flu vaccine will be available at no charge to children with State Medical Insurance and for all people who do not have health insurance.

Thank you to everyone who has already gotten a flu shot! Please share this information with friends, family, and co-workers who still need to get vaccinated.
