It's good to be cautious but I think people have gotten a bit paranoid. Of course I've always checked my child's candy for tampering but I always thought it was highly unlikely that I'd ever find anything. It's a shame this fear has gotten so out of hand because homemade Halloween goodies were the best (when I was growing up) and now no one eats them. If you make them, you are deemed the neighborhood psychopathic child murderer.
