Stacey Gayle suffers from musicogenic epilepsy, a rare form of the condition in which seizures are triggered by music.

In some patients with this type of epilepsy, listening to any type of music provokes a seizure. In others, seizures are only triggered by certain types of music.

Gayle noticed that her attacks were being triggered by a song called Temperature, by Sean Paul.
