55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: If someone is having a seizure, put a spoon in their mouth so they don’t swallow their tongue

‘Seizures can be very scary to watch but following common wisdom like putting a spoon in the person’s mouth or blowing in their face doesn’t help a seizure and can even cause inadvertent harm.
