Epilepsy is not a specific illness ( quoting Red Cross manuals) but is a combination of symptoms. It can be triggered by outside sources such as drugs, violent physical action ( Motorcycles are off-limits) and strange as it sounds high-energy strobe lights at, for example, Rock Concerts. the condition can be brought under control, but never cured. Therefore it is a condition or handicap rather than something like , say Influenza which can be handled with usual anti-cold remedies- not to mention flu shots. When Epileptics ( Go off) they are violently out of control and can cause accidents- I can imagine if somebody was driving a bus and had one of these- wow! Consult Merck Manuals for further information. It is a tragedy indeed.
