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.

@jakedduck1 yes, you are right. I was referring to safety and obstruction. Laying on one’s side is a good safety tip. Basically, making sure a person cannot harm his or her self during a seizure is all anyone can do to help that person, right? How do you prepare to use a stick when you are not aware a seizure is coming?
