How to handle being bitten by a person with epilepsy

Patient's question:

During the New Year's Day this year, I took my girlfriend back to my hometown to visit my parents. While walking on the horse, I saw a child lying on the ground twitching uncontrollably. I thought it was a car accident and quickly went to help, but ended up getting bitten. The child's parents came over and said the child was having a seizure.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is a need for simple wound treatment. Epilepsy is a chronic, recurrent syndrome of transient brain dysfunction and is one of the common diseases of the nervous system. It is not contagious. Generally, chromosomal abnormalities, focal or diffuse brain diseases, and other conditions can increase the likelihood of developing epilepsy.
