This is only one of the misconceptions that have been prevalent since old times that iron helps during fits, the only probable explanation might be that making the patient hold something firm like an iron rod in his or her hands, prevents him or her from causing injuries to himself. Otherwise iron does not play any role in stopping of controlling the fits. This is not just my assumption, but I have heard this from a few doctors.
I think Iron materials like key chains are kept in the hands of the victim of Fits, not to stop Fits, but to avoid the clinching of hands and injuring himself/ herself.
We have different perception. Iron is used to make evils get rid of us. It protects us from all sorts of negative energies which may appear at night in dark.
This is one of the misconceptions. Iron materials in no way can stop fits. Generally fits (seizures) do not last for more than 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, it stops spontaneously. Also there is no need for any grip to such patients. Hence giving iron materials is of no use. It is purely a misconception and nothing else.
