Abstract
The Milk Awareness Campaign, eight rules to respect in case of a seizure With half a million people living with Epilepsy, and 30,000 new cases found per year in Italy, this disease has become a very common pathology and a one worth of attention. This is why Aice (Italian Association Against Epilepsy Veneto), Lice (Italian League Against Epilepsy), and Lattebusche, joined forces to ease how to deal with an epileptic seizure, by printing on 300,000 Lateebusche cartons of milk the 8 rules to follow in case of a seizure. This awareness campaign aims at reaching at least 1.5 million people if not more. The campaign builds on the last national conference held in Padua, "Update in Epileptology", and aims at raising awareness, educate the population and patients, and break down false myths on this pathology.
