One of the things that first aid training has taught me is how deeply embedded in the popular psyche some of these folk remedies are. Does everyone encounter them in children’s books or something?

Yes, it’s bizarre isn’t it. Someone apparently suggested putting something in my mouth, and a first aider stopped them, before putting a jumper under my head

That’s so weird to see now, never heard of a spoon but I remember a nurse coming to our primary school and saying put something soft - like a belt - in someone’s mouth if they’re having a seizure to ensure they don’t bite their tongue off. This was the 80s, but still.

And despite not being epileptic I once had a seizure minutes before a uni exam due to a bad confluence of neurological issues. Luckily my amazing friend knew what to do and I was ok, but when I came to I’ve never been so tired and terrified in my life. I empathise greatly Dawn

Yes, your brain just falls to pieces. They asked ny nane and I didn’t know it. Some people put the handle of a spoon in people’s mouths to stop thrm bightingbthrjr tongue ;!?)
