I live in Iowa and this year has been the most humid, driest and hottest years here since 1950 not to mention the corn pollen count is the highest it has ever been. So now although I have only been diagnosed with asthma for 2 years it was the worst it has ever been and you know what that meant SEIZURES - yay! Had to go to ER and I am amazed I could keep myself from passing out, but the seizures were to the point that I couldn't even breathe through most of them. Doesn't help we don't have air conditioning. It also made my blood sugar drop a lot, at least for me. Now the question is although my seizures are non-epileptic might I pass them onto my daughter? I've been wondering this all night....
 
I'm in IL, and I have to agree. This year has been miserably hot. We've had half an inch of rain in the past 2 months.... so little rain that farmers are now mowing down their corn fields because there's no hope of even being able to harvest even a little corn. :?

Unless there's an underlying genetic cause, you shouldn't pass them on. Seizure disorders tend to not be generational. It shows up randomly, so it's nearly impossible to predict who will get it and who won't.
 
I guess our corn went from 60% being consumable to only 30% in about a month. No sweet corn for us.

I didn't know that it wasn't generational so it's basically something we're just going to have to wait and see. I guess I'm just nervous.
 
Same issue here. Im in MO. 105 today farmers are mowing down the crop and trying to turn it into feed. Were supposed to get rain on Thurs. First rain since June. Then the temp is supposed to drop to the mid 90s:woot: Its prety bad when you get excied about the mid 90s. I heard on the news that the farmers are selling off their cattle which iwill flood the market which will drive down the prices of meat. But watch out once the market returns to normal the cost will probably skyrocket.
