You know how sometimes you can’t get a song out of your head, no matter how bad it is? Well, imagine if that song caused seizures!

MSNBC has an article about a woman who actually got seizures from listening to Sean Paul songs.

Now that surgeons have operated on Stacey Gayle’s brain, her favorite musician no longer makes her ill. Four years after being diagnosed with epilepsy, Gayle recently underwent brain surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center to cure a rare condition known as musicogenic epilepsy.

Gayle began to suspect that music by reggae and hip-hop artist Sean Paul was triggering some of her seizures. She recalled being at a barbecue and collapsing when the Jamaican rapper’s music started playing. Her suspicions were confirmed on a visit to the Long Island medical center last February, when she played Paul’s hit “Temperature” on her iPod for doctors. Soon after, she suffered three seizures.

During the first surgery, doctors implanted more than 100 electrodes in the right side of her brain to pinpoint the abnormal area of her brain. The surgeons followed that procedure with a second surgery to remove the electrodes, along with parts of her brain suspected of causing the seizures. Within three days, the woman was released from the hospital and has not experienced a seizure since.
