The best defense against an aggressive bear is to get some sort of large object, like a large tree, or car, and just keep moving around it keeping it between you and the bear until they get bored and leave. Bears are WAY faster than people in straight aways but cannot maneuver around the object as quickly due to how big they are. Do not try and climb the tree, just keep it between you and them. this is known as “the squirrel defense”. Now if there are TWO bears….

So many of these are just dumb and wrong.
"People having seizures cannot swallow their tongue. Do not put anything in their mouth."
It's not that people actually swallow their tongue, it's that their tongue will rest in the back of their throats restricting their ability to breathe. People have heard this and misunderstood what was actually happening and spread misinformation for decades. So then things like this come out without actually addressing the truth or the root of the phrase. Your tongue isn't going to rip out of your mouth and go down your throat. It can rest in the back of your throat and choke you to death. That's what they are saying when they say "swallow your tongue."
