    患有癫痫的女子洁米‧辛普森(Jaime Simpson)分享两只治疗犬救她一命的故事,而这段温馨过程全都被家用监视器录了下来。

    法国雷恩大学(University of Rennes)一项研究表明,狗可以通过闻嗅气味,预先侦测人类癫痫发作。

    辛普森上传到「TikTok」的影片显示,她当时躺在画面的右侧角落,而画面左下角则是她的两只治疗犬,分别是澳洲牧羊犬「艾柯」(Echo),以及黄金猎犬「艾佛勒斯」(Everest)。

    辛普森表示,她当时濒临癫痫发作的边缘,而艾柯及艾佛勒斯闻到味道后,艾柯跳到床边桌上,取了急救药物送到辛普森嘴边;艾佛勒斯则用鼻子按下紧急联系按钮,提醒辛普森的伴侣鲁班(Ruben),鲁班事后确认辛普森无大碍。

    @embracingecho This morning the dogs prevented an epileptic seizure. Echo immediately picked up scent and it almost looked like Everest did too. Typically, Everest goes off of Echo’s alert and responds by triggering the emergency button with his nose. Echo brought rescue medication to prevent the seizure. Ruben received the call from the button and made sure I was okay. Both dogs noticed I hadn’t taken the medication yet and each nudged my hand and pushed it towards me. I notified my list of caregivers of the incident with my seizure watch. Once the seizure scent passed, Echo relaxed a bit and Everest celebrated with his Benebone. This is why we record everything and travel with a home camera. It’s beneficial for advocacy and safety. #ServiceDogs #SeizureResponseDogs #DisabilitySupport #SeizurePrevention #LifesavingDogs #EpilepsyAwareness

    虽然画面没有拍到,但艾柯及艾佛勒斯看到辛普森并未立即服药,各自轻推她的手,提醒她吃药。

    辛普森过去几个月来持续训练艾柯及艾佛勒斯,并通过TikTok宣传推广,希望帮助更多癫痫患者。她在影片标题上写道,「这就是我们录下一切并带着家用摄影机出游的原因,有利宣导和安全。」

    辛普森的「救命索」除了两条治疗犬、床边紧急联系按钮,还有她配戴的癫痫手表,后者可即时通知护理人员她癫痫发作。

    癫痫是种常见的神经失调疾病,其特征是无法预测发作,且每个人的发病与控制的情况都不同。

    癫痫基金会(Epilepsy Foundation)表示,美国约有340万人罹患癫痫,此症可能与脑部结构或损伤、遗传、免疫系统或代谢有关,确切发病原因不明。
