Why iron or metal things are put in hands of the person who encountered with fits or seizure??

Do you know what is the reason behind keeping iron or metal things??

The reason behind this is quite awkward that it has no scientific reason to put on metal things. It is totally a superstitial activity.

Then how does this activity came into application?

In olden days the people who encountered with fits are made to hold large metal things so that they get survived from being prone to injuries. This activity was followed by most of the population. The latter came with a replacement of metal keys instead of large metal rods.

So finally there is no scientific reason behind keeping metal things in hands of fits victim hands.
