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.
For more information, see the topic Epilepsy. A seizure can be a symptom of another health problem, such as: 1  A rapidly increasing fever (fever seizure). 2  An extremely low blood sugar level in a person who has diabetes. 3  Damage to the brain from a stroke, brain surgery, or a head injury. 4  Problems that have been present since birth (congenital problems).
