Each year on Halloween, children look forward to trick­or­treating (不请客就捣乱) for candies. But for some kids, eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.

That's because one out of every 13 kids in the US has a food allergy (过敏症). They are allergic to ingredients (成分) in many Halloween candies, such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and beans. If they eat these foods, they will get sick or even die.

 "I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight­year­old Conlen said. Conlen is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy. Twelve­year­old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. She has been trick­or­treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbours，" Kylie said. "It felt terrible."

But this year, Conlen, Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween. That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project (TPP), which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). FARE is an organisation that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies. Through the project, the households agree to have non­food items for trick­or­treaters, including trinkets (小饰品) and toys.

To take part in the project, people buy a teal (蓝绿色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house. The painted pumpkins let trick­or­treaters know that non­food items are available there. The households also add their home addresses to an online map, making it easier for trick­or­treaters to find them.

Kylie loves the idea. "The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said. "It makes me feel like a normal kid, and it makes everyone feel included."
