One in 26 people will develop epilepsy and as a result some of them may experience dangerous seizures that can inhibit consciousness and present serious health risks. The Epilepsy Foundation urges the public to learn how to perform proper first aid to help ensure the safety and mitigate the potential problems that can afflict those experiencing these types of seizures. Bradley Greger, associate professor of bioengineering in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools, provides some recommendations on what specific actions can be taken to help people in these circumstances, as well warnings about what not to do in such cases.
