👻 Super Scary Halloween Treat Choking Hazards 👻

At Mini First Aid, we love Halloween as much as you do, but some Halloween treats like hard candy lollipops, popcorn, nuts and marshmallows are all choking risks and not recommended for toddlers and small children.

Hard lollipops and boiled sweets are a popular trick or treat gift but they can easily become detached from their stick and lodge in a child’s throat.

Nuts like peanuts/monkey nuts which are popular at Halloween are hard for small children to bite into and chew, and Popcorn with its sharp edges and kernel flakes can also be a choking hazard.

Marshmallows are sticky and hard for small children to safely chew. They can stick in a child’s windpipe and restrict their airway.

There is the added risk of your child eating these while running around, having fun trick or treating in the dark, not concentrating on chewing or eating, and you not noticing that they might be choking.

Stay safe this Halloween and keep sweet treats like this away from your small children and toddlers.

And have lots of spooky fun! 👻 🎃

FIRST AID IN YOUR DRIVING TEST!

Did you know from 2026, the theory test part of learning to drive will include questions on CPR and defibrillators.

It’s not just about ticking a box on a test paper; it’s about feeling confident that you would know what to do if you came across an emergency on the road and that you would be able to step in and help.

Drivers are often the first people on the scene of an accident, so it’s vital to learn the skills of CPR and using an AED, and nothing teaches these skills better than in-person demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Our 2-hour First Aid Awareness Class for Adults​ ​covers heart attack, CPR, using an AED, stroke,​ ​burns, bleeds, severe allergic reaction, choking, seizures and breaks.​ ​It’s informal and gives everyone who attends the skills to respond in an emergency situation.

Come and learn with us, or encourage your teenager who is learning to drive to come and learn with us today - a few hours of learning could save a life.

As well as teaching first aid I’m also a Primary School teacher. On a recent school residential trip a pupil came along with our amazing kit and said ‘You never know when you might need a first aid kit!’. He had asked his Mum to pack one!🥰 *photo shared with permission*

One day, you could be called upon to save a life…would you know what to do?

We’re supporting today with their annual Restart A Heart campaign.

Today, our Mini First Aid team will teach hundreds of parents, carers, children and workers how to carry out CPR on all ages.

You never know when someone you love might need help, or when you might be the closest bystander in an emergency. Survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remain love in the UK, with fewer than one in ten people surviving.

Everyone has it in them to save a life. Do something incredible today and book a first aid class! 💚
