When considering persons who do not have epilepsy, what are precautions for them to take from having a seizures in their lifetime? I have been cured for over 24 years and like to have family/friends to take precautions.

Congratulations on being seizure free for 24 years! The likelihood of an additional seizure after 24 years of seizure freedom is quite low. Having stated that, the only precautions to take are ones that we would recommend to all patients: get sleep, exercise, and practice stress management.
Nearly 10 percent of individuals may have a single unprovoked seizure. However, a single seizure doesn’t mean you have epilepsy. Of those individuals who have a single seizure, 60 percent never experience another.
