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. Another such myth is that a person should be restrained during a seizure. A very common misunderstanding is that all people with epilepsy are photosensitive, meaning that they have to avoid flashing or flickering lights. Step forward the Epilepsy Ireland myth busters, Lorraine, Oliver, Gerard and Debbie.
