Is lamb madness contagious

summary

There is a relative in my family who is now in hospital for treatment because of lamb madness. He often suffers from hand and foot twitching and foaming at the mouth. I've heard that this disease seems to be contagious before, and I don't know if it's true. Now I'll tell you whether lamb madness is contagious.

Is lamb madness contagious

First: epilepsy is a chronic disease caused by abnormal discharge of neuron cells, which leads to transient brain dysfunction. It is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent paroxysmal and transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by repeated supersynchronous abnormal discharge of brain neuron cells. There are many causes of the disease, such as congenital diseases, pre partum and perinatal diseases, epilepsy after febrile convulsion, craniocerebral trauma, intracranial infection, intracranial tumor, cerebrovascular disease, poisoning, nutritional and metabolic diseases, and other diseases.

Second: epilepsy is not a disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms, so it is not infectious. Epilepsy is caused by many factors, with a clear cause of secondary epilepsy, usually some trauma or brain disease, this kind of epilepsy is not only non infectious, but almost no genetic. As for congenital epilepsy, although still has a certain genetic, but contact with patients is not infectious. So it's wrong to think that epilepsy is contagious.

Third: epilepsy will not be contagious, but will be genetic, it is recommended to stop the drug after six months to have children. Epilepsy has a genetic tendency, but the impact on the next generation is not 100%. Generally speaking, only 5% of the children of epilepsy patients have epilepsy, so epilepsy patients can have children. However, from the perspective of eugenics, it is better for epileptic patients to avoid marriage with people with low convulsion threshold (including epileptic patients and people with a history of febrile convulsions). Epileptic patients should have stable conditions and basically control their fertility after seizures. In addition, the impact on the fetus mainly comes from the mother, the father with epilepsy generally will not inherit.
