Q: Would the magnetic bracelet cause some one with epilepsy to have a fit? I bought one for my mate last Friday and within an hour of putting it on she had a fit which she as not had for some years now?

Hello Siaron,

Thank you for your email.

There is no known cases of magnets inducing epileptic fits, on the contrary there have been studies into magnets and epilepsy , magnets were placed on the head and they were found to reduce epileptic fits in those with quite severe epilepsy. The magnetic field helps to regulate the electromagnetic impulse within the brain that can lead to epileptic fits. it is highly unlikely that the bracelet has caused the fit. If further fits occur your friend should consult her doctor.
