Firefighter medical exam
I have question, does anyone think, or know for a fact that if someone had seizures when they were an infant, there last seizure was at age 2 would that disqualify them from becoming a professional firefighter?

No,many children from infant to toddler have febrile siezures. ZThese are caused as you
can probably guess from the name by fevores. Most children out grow these and have
there last by age 3 or 4. Unless your on a Rx med for siezures it's not an issue.

One can not assume a baby seizure is from fever or illness, so check to make sure the seizure was not diagnosed as a seizure disorder... and the person does not take medicine to prevent future seizures.
And I don't know the law - if on medicine for a seizure disorder that would disqualify them ??? You have to look up the law on that one.

the seizure was not diagnosed as a seizure disorder, and the person is not currently on medication for seizure prevention.
