Do you put something into a person's mouth during a seizure? NO! This is what is recommended. Protect the person from injury Check for anything nearby that may cause injury, e.g. sharp objects, furniture, and move them if possible. If the person is near a wall or hard furniture that can’t be moved, pad the area with clothes or a pillow. DO NOT move the person, or try to restrain them. This can make the person more confused and agitated, and cause injury. Manage the seizure Stay with the person until the seizure ends. If you’re in a public place, keep bystanders clear, and reassure them that the seizure will end soon. DO NOT put anything in the person’s mouth or try to pad between their teeth. The person’s muscles tighten during a seizure and they may break or swallow the object or damage their mouth or teeth. Call Emergency Services for an ambulance if the seizure does not stop after 5 minutes, or if the person does not wake up after 10 minutes, or if they are not breathing well.

⏱️Ah, the age-old question: how often should I have my ears cleaned? Well, here's the scoop: there's no one-size-fits-all answer to that! ⌛You see, ear wax production varies from person to person. Some people are blessed with ears that produce a lot of wax, while others have ears as clean as a whistle! Factors like trauma to the ears, narrow ear canals, and even stress can influence wax production. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to individual differences. 🗓️So, what's the best approach? Listen to your body! If you find that your ears need a little TLC every 3-6 months to stay clean and clear, go for it! If you're one of the lucky ones who can go 1-2 years between cleanings, that's fantastic too! Remember, your ear health is as unique as you are. So, trust your instincts and schedule your ear cleaning appointments based on what works best for YOU! 🗓️ #EarHealth #WaxManagement #ListenToYourBody #Earrigator #HearInTucson #OroValleyAudiology #tucsonaudiologist

Are Rats Chewing Your Lift Station Wiring. Did you know: But why do they like wires, and why do they chew them? The reason for their chewing is they need to grind their teeth regularly to prevent them from overgrowing.
