Dr Bassett was called upon to contribute to ABC News Health Report entitled “5 Halloween Mishaps and Missteps to Avoid – Staying Safe Amidst the Crazy Halloween Parties and Parades”.
In the report, Dr Bassett is quoted, “Even those with food allergies can enjoy a safe holiday, said Dr. Clifford W. Bassett, an allergy specialist at NYU School of Medicine. He recommends shopping in advance for foods and snacks free of suspected allergens, bringing your own treats to parties or while trick-or-treating, keeping emergency medications such as epinephrine pens handy should an allergic reaction occur, and considering non-food items such as stickers and crayons instead of candies and foods whose mystery ingredients could prove hazardous.”
