💜 Epilepsy Awareness Month 💜
DO:
1. Keep yourself and others calm.
2. Stay with the person.
3. Remove anything near them that can cause an injury.
4.Check to see if they are wearing a medical bracelet for information about any medical conditions, medicines, and emergency contacts.
5. If the person is lying down, turn them gently on their side, with their mouth pointing to the ground. This will keep their airway clear.
6. Time the seizure to track if it lasts more than 5 minutes. If it does, seek immediate medical attention or call 911.
7. When the seizure is over, help them sit in a safe place to recover.
8. Once they are alert, comfort them and explain what happened.
9. Offer to call a friend or loved one to help them get home safely.

DON'T:
-Don't hold the person down or stop their movements. This could injure you or them.
-Don't put anything in their mouth. This can hurt their teeth or jaw.
-Don't give mouth-to-mouth breaths during the seizure. People usually start breathing again on their own after a seizure.
-Don't offer water or food until they are fully alert. This is not necessary and could cause them to choke.
