Have you ever heard of the Myth that you should put something in a person's mouth because they can swallow their tongue during a seizure?

Well, the fact is that it's physically impossible to swallow your tongue.

You should never force something into the mouth of someone having a seizure or try to hold their tongue.

You could damage teeth, puncture gums, obstruct someone's airway, and even break their jaw, as well as injure yourself in the process.

Epilepsy stigma can significantly delay diagnosis and treatment as some people are reluctant to seek medical help because of fear of discrimination.
