00:00According to the CDC, 1 in 10 people may have a seizure during their lifetime.
00:06That means seizures are common and one day you might need to help someone during or after
00:11a seizure.
00:12It's not always extremely clear when someone is having a seizure.
00:15As Science Alert notes, for some people, their seizure is purely an internal sensation.
00:21Others may experience seizures that cause full-body convulsions with a loss of consciousness.
00:26Experts say this is the most dangerous type of seizure.
00:29If you do see this occur, it's important to keep the person safe.
00:33If they begin to fall, help them to the floor and put something soft under their head, according
00:38to Better Health.
00:39Science Alert notes that it can also help to turn the person on their side so they can
00:43breathe more easily.
00:45Experts say you should not give them water or food until they are fully awake and do
00:49not put objects into their mouth.
00:52Most importantly, call 911.
