University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists have announced a potential vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beware: Using colored contact lenses on Halloween may lead to blindness!

Whether you’re a ghost or zombie, vampire or witch, poor costume choices—including decorative (colored) contact lenses and flammable costumes—and face paint allergies can cause injuries that haunt you long after Halloween. Also remember what eating lots of sweet candy can do to your or your children's body.

It always pays to be aware and careful. Happy Halloween!
