Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 When my son Noah began having seizures suddenly last year, we had everything in our house tested to see if it was environmental. Unfortunately, you'll find pretty much anything and everything has seizures as a side effect in some way. Top thing to check for is black mold. Also, we have cellulose insulation and had it tested as we found that high exposure to breathing in the cellulose insulation can cause seizures. We had a home air quality inspection and also had our state's enviromental department test samples of things from our home. We moved out for 2 weeks, and Noah continued to have seizures even then, and then all the results from our home inspection came back ok, so we moved back home. It is better to check everything- you never know!

And then....to beat it all..... they just found out that a neighbor (adult man) also started having seizures recently. Oh.... and her daughter has started seeing flashing lights & no one can explain it. The local health department has been involved, but their epidemiologist says he cannot find a link. My question is this...... does anyone know of environmental elements which can cause seizures? Thankfully, medication is controlling the seizures for her husband and son, but this mom is very frustrated. And I don't blame her! Any thoughts??? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Pesticides, Mercury, Copper, Tin, (and other metals) and Cholorine are all seizure triggers. Do your friends have well water ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
