yes anyone can have a febrile seizure. I work as a medic....we took a pt. the other day, 82 y/o female. Her caregivers said that she was "walking, and then she got weak, shaky, and developed some wheezing in her lungs. She's usually sharp as a tack, but now she'll barely answer questions" I was surprised that her medical history listed febrile seizures. That's exactly what was wrong with her, she had a temp of 102.1(which her caregivers didn't mention) and was having convulsions in both arms. Go figure, huh?
