The color of the Halloween trick-or-treat bucket carries important information and could help save a child's life.

Halloween is coming and soon all the kids will be back in their best costumes and going on a candy hunt. But it turns out that even "sweet or nasty" has its own nuances. Recently, parents have tried to identify diseases and allergies in children in a simple way - with multi-colored buckets for collecting sweets. Therefore, when you see a certain bucket, you understand what you should not give your child. About what a certain color means, the publication told Click on Detroit.

Turquoise

Turquoise is the color of food allergy awareness. People are encouraged to place a turquoise-colored pumpkin and sign outside the door if they are offering any non-edible treats. Accordingly, children carrying a turquoise bucket signal that they have a food allergy.

Such an overly pronounced immune response to food components is life-threatening. It affects about 1 in 13 children in the United States. An allergy to dairy, nuts, wheat, or eggs rules out most popular Halloween candies.

Purple

Those who carry the purple bucket signal that they are suffering from epilepsy. People should be aware of this, because flashing lights can cause an attack.

The Purple Pumpkin project started in 2012. Founder Ron Lamontagne thought long and hard about how to get the word out about epilepsy after his youngest son, aged four, was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2009.

People are encouraged to dye pumpkins purple if they have a loved one with epilepsy.

Blue

While blue isn't as popular as teal or purple, there may be a few blue bucket kids on your block. According to the National Autism Association, blue pails can help identify children with the condition. This is especially important for those who have severe forms of it (for example, the child does not speak) and for children whose cognitive development does not correspond to their age.

Now, when you see a bucket of an unusual color, you will surely know what it means and how to properly behave with a child, as well as what treats to give him.
