The Impact of Epilepsy
Seizure eTraining Slide 4

Is having a seizure the same as having epilepsy?

Not necessarily. In general, seizures do not indicate epilepsy if they only occur as a result of a temporary medical condition such as a high fever, low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or immediately following a brain concussion. Among people who experience a seizure under such circumstances, without a history of seizures at other times, there is usually no need for ongoing treatment for epilepsy, only a need to treat the underlying medical condition.

A copy of the Exposure Control plan is available for review at every school site and program office.

What should I do if exposed to body fluids (e.g. needlestick, splash, human bite, or human scratch)?

  • Clean injury with soap and water immediately; however, clean only with water on mucous membranes (eyes and mouth).
  • Notify your supervisor right away.  Complete incident report.
