WARNING: Photosensitive seizures

in moving images or video games. Even people who have no history of seizures
or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause "photosensitive
seizures" while watching moving images or video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Photosensitive seizures may also cause
loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling or striking
nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience
any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about
the above symptoms — children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions:
• Sit farther from the video screen.
• Use a smaller video screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
