Dogs demonstrate the existence of an epileptic seizure odour in humans
Super interesting.I also just want to note to people that seizures aren't always the kind that they're portrayed, with the person falling to the ground and shaking.Couple years ago I had these events start which turned out to be partial temporal lobe seizures. I would get a big flash of deja vu, my right arm would tingle starting at the shoulder and creep down to my fingers for about a second, and then I'd get hit with a tiny thump in my head where for the next few minutes I couldn't comprehend. I could still think, and I was able to tell people I was talking to to hold on, and give me a little time before we could start talking again. I had one while reading for example and the words got completely meshed together, where the characters were combined in different orders and didn't look understandable at all. I was wondering why the hell I couldn't read, and eventually the words started coming back together.The reason I'm saying this is that it took more a while to realize these are considered seizures. I didn't know what was going on and didn't think it was anything much until they started coming one a day and that thump getting a little bigger each time.This kind of seizure was listed in the paper as one of the test subjects. Someone I know was the one to tell me that those events might be a seizure, and I don't know how much longer it'd have been for me to come to that realization on my own. So maybe me saying this can help someone else. That, or get a dog that can smell seizures like in the paper!
