Here’s some Seizure Awareness:

If you see someone having a grand mal (full body) seizure, please remember:

1.) Don’t Panic, Don’t restrain. Start timing the seizure.

2.) Bring them onto the ground if they’re on top of any surface (such as a bench, couch, or bed) so they cannot fall off and hurt themselves

3.) Roll them onto their side so they cannot choke on anything. Do NOT put anything in their mouth.

4.) Move away any dangers/hazards and cushion their heads.

5.) Call an ambulance.

If the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, the person is blue around the lips, not responding after the convulsions are over, or has never had a seizure before this may be the sign of something severe and proper medical attention is required immediately. Seizures after 5 minutes can cause permanent, severe brain damage.

It is always important to know what to do in the case of a seizure.

Too many people experience epileptic or non-epileptic seizures and are unsure that, if they were to occur, the people around them would know what to do to help. That is a terrifying thought.
