Many common household herbal preparations may have seizurogenic ingredients. We report 15 children with seizures following exposure to such compounds: oral ingestion of liquid preparation in 13, and local application of balm and Eucalyptus oil ingestion in one each. All children, except one, had generalized seizures. This study highlights the need to address this history during evaluation of first seizure, and increase awareness of seizurogenic potential of such preparations.
