I'm searching for the answer to the same question. My dog had a seizure two days after I'd applied Frontline Plus (just about the right timing for it to have been fully absorbed). I have no way of knowing whether that caused his seizure, but I'm reluctant to use it again, particularly in light of the EPA's new investigation of topical flea and tick ointments. If you believe that your dog had a seizure due to a spot-on flea & tick product, you can report it to the EPA at their website.

Yes. In animals and humans, fipronil (Topline) poisoning is characterized by vomiting, agitation, and seizures, and can usually be managed through supportive care and early treatment of seizures, generally with benzodiazepine use.
This means that too much is added to the skin and it not well tolerated. The majority of applications do not cause adverse reactions. The FDA has not pulled it from the market.
Fipronil is one of the main chemical causes blamed for the spread of colony collapse disorder among bees.
Fipronil has been classified by the EPA as a Group C (possible human) carcinogen based on an increase in thyroid follicular cell tumors in both sexes of the rat.
