What happens when someone with epilepsy sees flashing lights?
For most people with epilepsy, nothing will happen. A common misconception is that anyone that has epilepsy will have their seizures triggered when they see flashing lights. However, that is only for people with a form of epilepsy known as photosensitive epilepsy. That is only about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy. For the others, it has no effect whatsoever. Their seizures would be triggered by other factors. For those that do have photosensitive epilepsy then seeing flashing lights could start a seizure.
What are the Symptoms of Epilepsy?
Symptoms of epilepsy are recurrent seizures. Some people experience an "aura" seeing a color or glow, or hearing a noise, etc. People seem to become disoriented or dizzy or lose balance prior to a seizure. Sometimes a feeling of nausea. I have seen dilation of the eyes, and slight increase in temperature, as well as hyperactivity up to several days prior to a seizure.Or the other symptoms of an epilepsy fit areheavy breathingdon't respond to anythingface drops to one sidestart shakingin a world of your own (stare at one thing for a long time)Symptoms of epilepsy are recurrent seizures.
What are the symtoms of epilepsy?
Epilepsy is diagnosed by a person having seizures. For some people the seizures are frequent and strong. Someone having a milder form will not get seizures very often. The seizures they get will be very mild, maybe manifesting themselves as short periods of loss of conciousness, or even just feeling a little "strange" (hard to really describe this as it is different for different people) for a moment and then feeling fine. They may feel like a seizure is coming on, but it never actually happens. Most seizures are preceded by something as a person feels it coming on. This is normally called an aura, which is different for different people, the strange feeling I mentioned. It could be a physical sensation. The seizure will then follow. Someone with a mild form may get an aura, but not have a full seizure at all. some of the other side symptoms are that the person see double of evrything and sometime walks like they are drunk
What are the benefits of a ketogenic diet?
A ketogenic diet is mostly beneficial to people with epilepsy (or who have seizures) and body builders. It is a high fat and protein, low-carbohydrate diet. This type of diet mimics starvation because the body learns to burn fat instead of carbohydrates. It is not usually recommended or beneficial for the average, healthy adult. If a friend recommended this diet to me, seeing as how I do not have seizures and am not looking to body build, I would not take their advice and I would keep searching for a better diet.

Is there lightning in tornadoes?
Since tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms they are often accompanied by lightning. Additionally, some survivors have reported seeing the inside of a tornado frequently lit up by lightning.
Why is there a delay between the lightning an thunder?
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
Why do we hear thunder a few seconds after seeing lightning?
Light travels faster than sound.
Why do seizures need to be medicated?
There are a few ways you can look at that question, like whether all people who have epilepsy need to be on medication or whether medication is needed when a seizure happens. Most people with epilepsy are on medication. Epilepsy comes in such a wide variety of types and severity, that there are all sorts of medications and dosages and each individual person is different, so there is not one standard approach. Some people have very mild seizures and may not be on any medication. Others could have very severe seizures and need a lot of medication. Those that are on medication for epilepsy normally take their medication a set amount of times a day, not at the time they have a seizure. Their medication is designed to control seizures, meaning it should at least reduce if not eliminate seizures. Once a seizure starts, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. However, some seizures are extremely mild, lasting just seconds, with only the person that has had it knowing that something has happened, so there is no need for any assistance. Giving someone medication during a seizure is not going to stop it and in many cases it would be difficult to get someone to take medication when they are having a seizure anyway. Only in the most extreme cases, would medical intervention be needed, like if someone was going from one seizure into another for a long period of time, like for 20 minutes or half an hour. Then it would be advisable to call an ambulance. That is something that is very rare. For the majority of people, they will have a seizure and recover soon afterwards, and if you called an ambulance immediately the seizure started, they might be fine or at least well on the way to recovery by the time it arrives, so there would be no need for the ambulance. People seeing someone having a seizure and not knowing what it is tend to panic and call an ambulance, but usually it is not needed. People do get brought to hospital in those cases, just because an ambulance has come and on a precautionary basis, but are usually discharged very soon afterwards, as they have recovered by then. A seizure may only last for a few minutes, so usually there is no medical assistance needed and it is not of any help to the person as they would recover themselves anyway. There is normally no need to give them medication after a seizure either. The person will just follow their normal pattern of when they take their medication. So if someone is having a seizure, all you can do is be there for them, make sure they are OK and comfortable. That is more than sufficient treatment for the vast majority of seizures.

two thousand miles
Why do you see thunder after you see the flash of lightning?
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
