When dealing with a person having a seizure, do NOT put anything in their mouth, ever. Period. Don't. Got it? Good. Next, put them on their side - doesn't matter which - in a sort of face-down on the side kind of position. The key is to make sure the saliva can run OUT of the mouth, and not back into the throat and the lungs. Remove glasses and loosen clothing where you can. Try to prop up the person's head with something soft like a jacket or your thigh. If you see them bashing their foot or hand or any other part, try to pad that, too. When they start to flail, very -VERY- gently keep them from crashing into stuff and flopping around and hurting themselves. DO NOT restrain them in a hard way as you can tear muscles and so on. Just keep them from hurting themselves. Gently. DO NOT call 911 immediately. Some people with epilepsy do not want to deal with ambulances and hospitals (and COPS!!!!) just because of ONE seizure. DON'T presume. Let them ride it out and come to. After 30-40 minutes, the "waking self" is back, so let them decide what to do next. Ask them questions and see how quick the answer. The alphabet, simple stuff. You will see them come around fairly quickly, tho times can vary. If the person has hit their head or is otherwise injured - of if they go into another seizure immediately after the first, call 911. Check for drug allergy ID. The wrong drug can kill them. IF you want to use this footage for a school project, to teach, or any way re-use this footage, THIS is our permission slip to you. use it. learn. teach. share. spread it around. copy it. download it and burn it to disks and pass them out in the street. Disseminate!!! If you want to use the footage for an insulting mash-up - as some people already have - then you are a monster. Unless it is funny, and well done, in which case, let's see it, punk. Footage of a Graphic Epileptic Seizure, caught on tape, Jan, 2003. Author, illustrator, artist Christine Lowe introduces it. Less

May 25, 2012 - I have had epileptic seizures eversince I was 14 and facing this issue was always a problem for me. So thank you so much for not only giving my family and the people around this type of information but also having the courage to film what I also have to go through for the rest of my life. I tearin up right now because I feel what your going through when I see this video. On another note I have always been curious whether medical canibus would not necessarily cure my epilepsy but tone it down..

May 24, 2012 - How brave of you all for posting this. It's very educational and well done. The man in video is very calm and in control. I noticed tags say medical marijuana. What strains do you use for epilepsy? I'm doing cannabis research for a possible adjunct med for my autistic son with seizures and am gathering information about cannabis for epilepsy, as well. I've learned that ones high in CBD's are the safest for epilepsy. Sativas can exacerbate seizures.

May 23, 2012 - Putting a lock and chain around the epileptic person's pants, rather than just a belt, will keep them from biting their thong off. Thank you. Goodnight.

May 23, 2012 - I've been trying to understand epilepsy since I had it as a teenager. Bilirubin passing the blood brain barrier in children and adults with acute kidney failure causes seizures. Bilirubin is concentrated into Bile to break down fats. The high fat Ketogenic Diet uses the excess of Bile (Bilirubin) preventing it from entering the brain therefore reducing seizures. Does this made sense to any of the researchers out there? Thanks for posting this video!

May 23, 2012 - I never said what he was saying was right, or defendable. Quite the opposite. I just think it's hypocritical that all he said was "omg she had rabies" but you believe he should be raped, stabbed and carved up for saying it, and yet, he is the person who is bad. If anything, you're as bad as each other. Yeah, I feel sorry for this pathetic comment that - even as an attempt at comedy - was worthless, but I also feel sorry for you, wishing a horrific death on someone who only said 4 stupid words.

May 22, 2012 - somebody has to tell this"it"something..right? or should i be professinal and ignore ignorance?so"it"can feel like if its okay to say such things.no its not okay. retaliate is something everyone should do.when necessary.my parents are equally proud to teach me to pick my hands up and defend myself.everyone's mentality is childless including yours.you choose to go against me instead of "it"..its like a sargent sending you to combat and you kill one of your BROTHERS.sounds like spoiled soldiers.

May 22, 2012 - Don't you have to put something in the mouth so they won't bite their tongue? It's been a long time I've seen someone had a seizure.

May 22, 2012 - Your parents must be equally proud of you, for saying such things in retaliation.

May 21, 2012 - It's sad that people think this is funny. You wouldn't be laughing if you had epileptic seizures.
