Thank you for so much good and awesome info! I may bring this up at my next neurology appointment. We haven't narrowed down a list of triggers yet and this may help a bit. If nothing else- knowledge is power! :D

I don’t think a lot of docs think this is a thing, so you might have a fight on your hands if you mention it.

I only found out by looking it up on the net after having my own suspicions about Walmart leading to her having seizures and found TONS of people complaining about the store being a huge seizure trigger and lots of people discussing why and how it could do that. Target stores didn’t cause them in those same people, and so Target and Walmart employees even got in on the discussions and finally there was talk of the lights. It was a huge help to a lot of people once it was mentioned! Kids seem especially susceptible to the blue lights.

I brought it up with my mom’s doc and he was hesitant to agree, but after I showed him my list of all the times she had seizures right after being in buildings with blue lights, he finally agreed that yup, it can happen, so we should invest in some really good sunglasses that wrap around so light can’t get around the top and sides. It might look funny, but it’s worth it to not have a seizure.

Weird things can trigger seizures. I read about a guy who was triggered by the color orange and he could even induce a seizure just by THINKING about the color orange. They put him on monitors and were able to prove it.

Brains can be so wild!

I had no idea! Huh... This may explain some stuff!

Not all epileptics have sensitivity to blue light, but even if it doesn’t induce seizures, some people will still feel funny when exposed to it.

Blue fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen lights are cheaper, so a lot of places use them, especially the fluorescent, but for some reason the ones at Walmart are the worst. My mom will have a pretty hard seizure even with just 2-5 minutes of exposure without her sunglasses.

It’s really hard to see the blue tinge with the naked eye, but it’s listed on the light bulbs, so when I buy lights for my shop, I always make sure to get either white or yellow so my mom can come to my shop :)

I don’t have seizures, but there’s a low threshold for them in my family, and when I’m around the blue lights for 15 minutes or more, my eyes and head feel a little funny. Unfortunately by the time I feel it, it’s too late for my mom.

Some people with depression issues have difficulty with them too. It’s been theorized that people with depression have low seizure threshold too, and that’s why they’re affected by the blue light spectrum.
