The New Dublin St. Patrick's Day parade is always a day of celebration.
It turned into a night of worry for a local family.
"It was 7:30 at night that we noticed my oldest had the rash," Lisa Buehring said. "It covered his whole face, the whole right side of his face."
"As the night went on it started growing all the way down here, and my neck too," Isiah Buehring said.
His siblings had it too.
"I was terrified because you don't know what caused it," Lisa Buehring said.
Lisa now believes that it came from parade candy. She said she called police. She's not the only person who's done so.
Police said they've gotten approximately ten calls. Police said the possibly tainted candy has been sent to a Milwaukee crime lab. They don't know if it caused the rash or other symptoms people reported.
"We do suggest people don't eat the candy in case there is something wrong with it," New London Chief of Police Jeff Schlueter said.
It's advice the Buehring's will take.
"I doubt i'm going to be eating anymore," Isiah said.
"I'm scared for other parades, i'm scared for halloween, but i'm not going to not allow my kids to enjoy them, but we will dispose of whatever they collect during that time and then go buy regular candy," Lisa said.
A difficult decision for one local family, and a scary situation for several this past year.
