Do this ONE SIMPLE thing to help someone having a convulsion.

To watch and see the proper explanation... Click here

You can kill a person by forcing things into their mouths. I have seen it happen before In most seizures, the person is unconscious and that's bad practice Let me explain how. Oya listen

In your throat are two pipes, one leading to the lungs that exchange air and the other to the stomach for food. They both have a common entrance at the back of your throat. There is a flap on the pipe that is over the pipe that sends air to the lungs called the epiglottis

It stops food or water from getting to the lungs. That is why when you swallow and talk at the same time food tends to enter that causes you to cough. That cough is simply trying to remove the particles of food that may have entered your windpipe You can't stop it till it's clear

When a person is unconscious, they don't have this reflex, food forced into the throat can enter the lungs The lungs are not made for food, so food particles will cause a reaction in the lungs. Can lead to a form of pneumonia called aspiration pneumonia

Now we have that part covered, most seizures will end by themselves. You don't even have to do anything except make sure the person does not hurt him or herself in the process of convulsing. What NOT TO do? 1. Don't put anything in the mouth of a convulsing person

What to do Lay them on one side, preferably their left side Remove tight clothing eg belts, ties Take them away from danger, exposed wires, fire etc Time the episode, if it lasts longer than 5 minutes take them to a hospital.

My ideology of the spoon thing is to avoid the person from locking is tongue between his teeth and hurting himself.

I think the idea of the spoon or hand in the mouth is to stop the person from biting off their tongue and swallowing it. If this is a myth, then it’s a worldwide myth because it’s done by people in Europe too.
