(CNN) - Ahead of the biggest candy eating day of the year, parents should know if they are unprepared, their Halloween could truly be horrifying.

Every year doctors say trick-or-treaters end up in a doctor's office or the emergency room because of Halloween hazards.

Doctors recommend that parents pre-medicate their children before trick-or-treating, have children eat dinner first and be ready for an allergic reaction.
