I'm not sure that this is the right place,
but i'd like to ask a question concerning
epilepsy.
A close relative of mine has suffered from
epileptic seizures since she was nine (now
30), and although any common event before
the seziures had never really been
identified, recently another close family
member has realised that seizures have
almost always, if not always, followed a
visit to the hairdressers or the use of
some sort of electrical hair device. In
fact, this person first took a seizure
while using a pair of curling tongs, plus,
there have been various other incidents
that such devices has been used prior to a
seizure. What I would like to ask is, is
there any possibility that using
electrical hair devices, such as
straighteners, could possibly trigger a
seizure? If possible, could you please
provide links/references which might
contain information. Thankyou very much!

Hey Posted: 02-17-06 18:53pm
I have not heard of anything like
straightners causing siezures.But anything
is possible and your right,there has to be
electrical waves going through the
devises.I know there are certain excersise
belts that you can't use because of the
electrical waves.And as there definetly
seems to be a pattern,its worth
investigating.Good luck.
