This may be more likely to occur in very young children or the elderly; people undergoing alcohol or drug withdrawal; and those who have a history of seizures or a condition affecting the central nervous system such as a brain tumor or head trauma. Excessive or inappropriate use or accidental ingestion of lindane topical can also lead to seizures. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns.
