You're right, it's a student project for First Aid class.

@wmadams1 But i dont get it what causes a Seizure?

cause i play video games and when i load up it says : Warning Seizure can happen etc.

[wmadams1]

There are several reasons video games can cause seizures in some individuals. Some researchers think it may be due to the video being interlaced. This causes the screen to flicker and may cause a overload in the visual part of the brain. Other researchers think it's due to getting over exicited (high heart rate and/or rapid respiration). It's probably a combination and more than likely you have to be prone to seizure.

@Angelbutt300 Thanks. Stay safe

[Angelbutt300]

@MiGamezer

i dont get that either.

@bob18robert

not at all. Do not put ANYTHING in their mouth, i had a seizure, and i did in fact bite my tongue, it healed within 2 weeks, there was blood, but would i have rather choked and died or bitten my tongue and live? DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH. -Julia

[bob18robert]

@Angelbutt300 is it ok to put material to mouth to prevent tongue being bitten off?

(cont.)

there was 2 things in the video that are false. 1 usually the victim is unconscious, so asking them is just wasting time. 2 the victim is usually unconscious for a while after the seizure, so him responding that quickly made no sense. Beside that, the video is right on target. Good job!

I have Epilepsy and i dont see why there are so many dislikes, they are showing exactly what to do. 1. dont touch the person, 2.move anything harmful away (unless they have landed in a harmful area like tile, i think someone should try to move them) I am 18 and had 5 my whole life. Its scary,
