#EpilepsyDay - the MYTH of the spoon

Lorraine Lally surrounded by spoons

Lorraine Lally - a practising barrister from Galway - was our certified "spoon in the mouth" myth-buster for International Epilepsy Day 2020. The full campaign poster is available for download at the end of this article. 

Placing a spoon or anything else in a person's mouth during a seizure is a MYTH. Never put anything in a person's mouth during a seizure. Instead, remember Time, Safe, Stay. Visit the 'Seizure First Aid' section of our website to learn more.
