Even with snow flying and very chilly temperatures in the 20s, many Iowa kids won’t let wintery weather get in the way of trick-or-treating.  In Marshalltown, the official time for kids of all ages to go door to door is tomorrow night from 5:30 to 7:00. Besides bundling up and staying visible, Poison Control Center educator Lauren Prnjat reminds that Halloween can be a scary time for kids, especially if they wind up with something dangerous in their trick-or-treat bags.

Prinjat suggests checking the Halloween bags for things like laundry detergent pods and liquid nicotine. The Sioux City-based Iowa Poison Control Center is open round-the-clock at 800-222-1222.
