What can trigger an epileptic seizure?

Light or electrical treatments can trigger an epileptic seizure due to their ability to stimulate specific areas of the brain that may be sensitive in individuals with epilepsy. For instance, bright or flashing lights can induce seizures in those with photosensitive epilepsy. This reaction occurs because certain visual stimuli can disrupt the normal electrical activity in the brain, leading to a seizure.

In contrast, the other options do not have a direct link to seizure triggers in the same manner. Chemical exfoliants, moisturizers, and cold treatments are not typically associated with the activation of seizure activity and are generally considered safe for individuals prone to seizures, assuming they do not contain other triggering ingredients.
