Halloween glow stick leaks cause 260+ child exposures, prompting poison control warnings.
Poison control centers report a significant increase in calls during Halloween, with around 260 incidents related to glow sticks and glow jewelry—up from about 20 daily—due to exposure to the liquid inside, which can cause skin, eye, or mouth irritation.

Experts advise rinsing affected areas with water, offering water or snacks if ingested, and seeking emergency care if choking or breathing issues occur.
The substance is generally non-toxic, but parents are urged to supervise children and prevent chewing on these items.
