Seizure while shrooming

The last time I did shrooms was about 5 years ago. I was with about 10 other people and we were all shrooming on the same amount of shrooms, about half of an 1/8th each (1/2 a baggie each.)
Everything was going great. We shroomed really hard for about 3 hours or so and it was interesting that everyone seemed to be going up/down in waves along with everyone else. we started coming down a bit and a few of us decided to divy up the remaining shrooms (maybe a quarter of a bag each or so) to bring us back up.
Roughly an hour later, a buddy of mine was sitting on the edge of the couch and all of a sudden flew back and landed on the ground and began having a seizure. It lasted about a min and he didn't remember anything when he "woke up" from it. It really freaked us all out, but we never really did figure out exactly what happened. He seemed fine for the rest of the night after that.
Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening before? He/we still dont' know to this day what happened. Our only guess was we got some bad shrooms, but why then would none of the rest of us had a similar experience. A few of us did feel a little queezy after the second dosage.

Maybe he had/has a slight disposition towards seizures and the shrooms brought it out.

Maybe he passed out or something... I've seen people pass out (not off shrooms) and have little seizure things. Back in the days, me and friends use to pass each other out in school and every now and then people would have little seizure things. I know thats stupid to do, but boredum can make you do some stupid stuff, heh. It could be that he was prone to seizures or something and the shrooms braught it out like he (whoever posted before me, sorry forgot your nick) said.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Forum1&Number=438412&page=7&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all <--- read that
also in relation to my experience i was so shocked when i saw my brother pass out i stumbled out to my friend mumbled something about what happened and passed out, and had a seizure right in front of my friend ... he no longer takes drugs due to that experience (completely reformed his life). its been close to a yr since that time...
i then got up stumbled back into my bro's room and passed out 1 or 2 times, im not sure if i had a seizure again...
it was the most intense and worst experience of my life.
its possible my bro blacked out and stopped breathing too. he was by himself at the time. he had to goto hospital for stiches(sic). ive tripped numerous times since (had a 3 month stop after that experience, no desire to really trip in that time) recently ive been tripping heaps though.
my friend who saw me have a seizure (eyes rolling back into my head, legs twisted behind my back) was i believe mentally scared from the trip. even though he dramatically improved his lifestyle since that occasion i don't think it was worth his sense of paranoia (or insecurity with himself) that i believe he lives with now... we dont really chat any more....
me and my friend were chain smoking pot. my bro had a couple of hash pipe cones ...i think that increased the intensity of the exprience for me enormously.
finally suggestions offered at the time were low blood sugar, low cholosterol (i think that was suggested not too sure). i personally think it was bacteria in the mushrooms as my bro had the half -dried shrooms in a tea, and me and my friend had totally dried shrooms...
good luck with everything
take care...

oh yeah on another note, which is a similarity to your experience... we also redosed about 3 hrs into the trip!
fresh, dried, and half-dried shrooms were all put into a cup of hot water and consumed...
maybe this could be the problem?

Seizure... possably, but I doubt it. [Re: FreakShow]

Sounds to me like your friend had a blood rush to the head. Was he sitting/laying down for a while? If so i would say i would call that a safe assumption. A blood rush can sometimes mimic a seizure w/ symtoms such as blacking out for a short period of time, very limited memory loss, collapsing, and a tingly feeling. This happened to me on numerous occasions.

Seizures can usually be triggered, (by those who are seizure prone), by moving and motion of lights... The "Trip" might have triggered it by adding motion and lights... Seizures can also be triggered by flashing lights in video games and movies... (Most have warnings)
Nothing in the shroom, unless it was the non psyllocibe version would have "Caused" it, that is why those people shouldn't take image inducing drugs, and play video games.
Some other people, usually those with A.D.D. or A.H.D.D., who can get lost in movies... (Tend to trance out when watching, you can't pull them away, as they seem stuck in the movie.) also seem to get "Stuck" and hit harder by trips and weed. It is a difrent high, almost buddah-like feeling of nirvana. They feel a more emotional "Spiritual Trip" as opposed to normal people who feel a more logical "Insight Trip".
Due to all of my mental issues, I get a nice balance of both feelings. Unfortunately, I also have more bad trips, which I welcome, as I am now use to them. Bad trips are like those giant roller-coasters. You hear a first timers experiance as they exit the ride, Majorly over-exaggarated, and envelop a greater anxiety fear prior to getting on the ride... Adding to your over-anxious and exaggerated response as you leave the ride for the first time. The more you ride the ride, the more comfortable it feels, and you end up accepting all the jerks and twists as part of the entertainment. Sad that my bad trips have lost thier thrill, but they are much more welcome.
My bad trips usually lead to most of my artistic drive, and inspired some of my best, most apreciated by others, art-work. Over-all I am not a normal individual... I think about suicide and the existance of gods, and where my next dollar will come from, I just do it with style now.
It is sad to hear that those who aren't aware of thier deeper levels of depression have died while under any influence... or those unaware of other medical conditions like being seizure prone. I just hope that others can learn to moderate the use of thier substances... Hard to do with unregulated dosages and lack of consistancy from shroom to shroom...
