[gotcha] Instructing a user to chew an aspirin at the first sign of stroke symptoms

In stroke first aid, instruct to call emergency services immediately and explicitly advise against giving food, water, or medication \(including aspirin\), as it could be a hemorrhagic stroke where aspirin worsens bleeding.

Journey Context:
Aspirin is standard first aid for heart attacks, and agents often conflate cardiac and stroke protocols. If the stroke is hemorrhagic \(bleeding\), aspirin increases mortality. Only a hospital can differentiate ischemic vs hemorrhagic stroke via imaging.
