How do you stop youself from bitting you tongue dureing a seizure?
To control anything during a seizure is not really possible, so you could not consciously do it. You could wear some protection in your mouth, but that isn't very practical and you don't know when a seizure will happen. It can also be dangerous having something in your mouth when you have a seizure as you could do other damage, like to your teeth. So there is not very much that can be done to stop yourself biting your tongue when you have a seizure.
If a victim is having a grand mal seizure do you place a blunt object in their mouth?
No. A person who is having a seizure might not have control of his mouth, throat or swallowing functions and might swallow it. There is also the danger of them biting on the object and doing damage to themselves, like breaking teeth or swallowing a broken part of the item. Despite the common misconception, a person cannot swallow their tongue. The tongue can roll back a bit, but this is a natural occurrence and poses no threat to breathing. So putting something into their mouth is not going to achieve anything.
What stigma is attached to epilepsy?
There are lots of stereotypes about epilepsy that create stigmas and fear. Epilepsy only affects someone when they are actually having a seizure so at all other times they are the same as anyone else. Some people think that people with epilepsy are less intelligent or mentally ill. Epilepsy is a physical condition, not a mental one, so people with epilepsy have normal intellectual ability. Some people think it is a contagious disease, which it isn't. You cannot catch epilepsy from someone. Some people think that flashing lights cause seizures although that is only the case for about 3% to 5% of all of the people that have epilepsy. For all others, flashing lights have no affect on them and do not trigger their seizures. People think people with epilepsy can have the danger of swallowing their tongue during a seizure. It is actually impossible for anyone to swallow their tongue, so someone having a seizure cannot do so. So you should never put something in someone's mouth when they are having a seizure to try to prevent them from doing so. You could actually do some damage, by injuring their mouth. If they suddenly closed their mouth and bit on the item in it they could injure themselves or maybe break a tooth. If you know someone who has epilepsy you will know that they are no different to anyone else, except when they are having a seizure. People with epilepsy can go for days, weeks, months or years without having a seizure. A normal seizure only lasts a few minutes and people can recover very quickly after having one, depending on how serious it is. So the vast majority of the time they live perfectly normal lives.

Think of having a bad taste in your mouth. The image is of something that is unpleasant. Something that "leaves a bad taste" would be something that makes you feel bad even after it is over.

The human anus, or butt, is actually cleaner. The mouth excretes germs and bacteria of a more potent manner. But be aware of the fact that you are way more likely to get sick from having someone's anus in your mouth than having someone's spit in your mouth.
If someone has a seizure what would you do first?
If someone begins to have a seizure, the first thing you should do is be sure they are in a safe area while seizing. Move away anything they could hit themselves on, especially their head. Do not attempt to put anything in their mouth, as this could cause choking. Also, do not try to hold on to them, or keep them from seizing. Simply keep them from hitting things (especially their head), and then get help for them.
