First Aid Myth & Facts #6

First Aid Myth & Facts #6

Myth:

Put something in a seizure person mouth to avoid them biting their own tongue.

Fact:

While somebody suffering a seizure may very well bite his or her tongue, it rarely becomes an airway emergency. Seizures look scary but generally do very little harm. You're more apt to cause an airway blockage by stuffing your wallet in the seizure victim's mouth than by leaving the victim alone.
