On International Epilepsy Day, Epilepsy Ireland highlighted that there are as many myths about epilepsy as there are types of seizures.
A very common myth is that a spoon (or other nearby objects) should be placed in a person's mouth during a seizure to stop the person from swallowing their tongue.When many people think of epilepsy, they think of one particular type of seizure, known as a tonic-clonic seizure, where the person falls to the ground, stiffens and convulses. Misinterpreted often as being drunk.
