Gases in Earth's atmosphere absorb about 90 percent of this heat and radiate it back to the surface, which is warmed to a life-supporting average of 59 F (15 C). This very helpful process is called the greenhouse effect.
Anything that interrupts the normal connections between nerve cells in the brain can cause a seizure; this includes a high fever, low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or a brain concussion. Under these circumstances, anyone can have one or more seizures.
The body temperature rises above the sustainable environment for the bacteria or virus and occasionally kills it. Unfortunately, fever is also the cause of seizures (called fibrile seizures), especially in children. These types of episodes can occur several times a day and at night, causing nocturnal seizures. A child who has nocturnal seizures due to fever is not in danger of developing epilepsy later in life.
