Check out that site...I always thought it was seaizures but I always heard people say stroke...but check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNdM9JhTPJw&NR=1 I have heard this as well and asked some people but it came up in conversation a few times with some of my friends who have epilepsy. They said they smell something before they have a seiure but they are not sure what. A couple said it could have been burnt toast and others said oranges.
Because its burnt.
well, i have had two complex partial seizures in my whole life. when you have a partial seizure, you see an aura, or light that blocks your vision, and you sometimes become unconcious. i have not had a seizure for a very long time. if you have a grand mall seizure, you smell an intense smell or see something. your vision can become blurry. then, you usually become unconcious and start to become stiff or jerk your body. many people have seizures every day. and many people don't. seizures are symptoms of epilepsy.
If you smell burnt toast when there is no bread burning in the toaster, this is called an olfactory hallucination. It is possible to experience olfactory hallucinations when you have a brain abnormality, such as a brain tumor, or if you are about to experience a seizure or a stroke. In order to rule out these issues, you can visit a doctor and get a brain MRI.

a smell of burnt hair comes, i think
Cause its burnt.
no
When a person smells an odor, such as cinnamon or wood smoke, and nobody else around them does, it could indicate a medical condition. Many people with epilepsy report smelling certain things before a seizure occurs.
Many people smell phantom smells after a viral illness because of the damage and swelling in the sinus cavity. Phantom smells are also common after a seizure or before a migraine.
Most people that have a seizure disorder have an "aura" proir to the seizure. This is different for everyone, can be a smell, or an odor, or flashing lights, but it is a warning sign that a seizure is about to happen. Assuming she has had hear ears and nose checked by a doctor and there is no problem this could be the situation. Also, if she has not had a CAT Scan or MRI of her brain to look for problems this should be done to be thorough.
Yes.
