@jakedduck1 Besides the reasons you mentioned I would think doctors would not recommend it for seizure patients. Not being able to feel your tongue can become a safety hazard in case the tongue is swallowed or causes issues during a seizure. Toni

I don't believe it's possible to swallow your tongue although when unconscious the tongue is more likely to block the airway. One reason why the recovery position of being on your side is important.
Against everything you read I'm a proponent of seizure bite sticks during a seizure.
