Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Mark I have seen the same in my children. Here is my stupid theory. I think it raises copper and iron in the body, which contribute to seizures? Kathy [ ] Chlorine and seizures Listmates, Anyone have any information relating to the increased incidence of seizure activity after exposure to chlorinated pools or chlorinated water. Am doing some research into the matter. Thanks for the help, Mark Schauss P.S. The only seizure activity my daughter has had recently was following exposure to heavily chlorinated pools.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi mark, Hope all is well. Last year and the year prior, during swim season, we did notice an increase in seizure activity and I initialy thought it was pool related. We were using Bacquacile at the time, not chlorine. However, I changed to chlorine this year and no seizures at all. Another factor to consider is that the seizures instead of being triggered by the chemicals, they may actually be heat related. Which in our case this has not been an extreemly hot summer so maybe that's why we saw no seizures. Hope this helps your data. Hope all is well with Tasya and the new baby!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Mark, I can't believe it has been a year since we last " spoke " , it is amazing how time flies. Another thing you may want to consider, not that I want to defend the chlorine, but if Tasya holds her breath for under water swimming in a reg. pool and not in the ocean, this could bring about increased seizure activity.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Mark, I thought about something else. What about pH, I wonder if the levels in pool water could affect seizure threshold? Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Tracey, The idea of heat did come to mind but Tasya had an increase in seizure activity (atonic's) even when the temperature was moderate. She didn't have any increased activity when the weather was hot and she didn't go in a pool (and it got over 100 numerous times). A doctor who attended my seminar this weekend related 2 cases of chlorine induced seizures. Tasya was in Florida 2 weeks ago had a few atonics only when she went in the hotel pool, nothing when she went in the ocean. There has to be a biochemical answer here somewhere.... We obviously are going to keep her out of pools and since we did that, no seizure activity at all. By the way the baby (Anika) is doing great and will turn 1 year old in 2 weeks.
