Oddity

The Resume

    (1984- )
    Former bank teller
    Appeared on 20/20 for her bizarre condition: seizures activated by listening to Sean Paul's single 'Temperature'
    Based in Queens, New York

Why she might be annoying:

    She suffered from a condition called musicogenic epilepsy.
    It was only then the doctors were able to pinpoint the cause of her seizures to the Sean Paul song.
    She fell into a seizure then passed out at a barbecue when 'Temperature' came on.
    She stayed at a hospital without incident until doctors allowed her to bring in her iPod a few days into her stay; then she had three seizures that night.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her condition is so rare only five people in the world suffer from it.
    She had brain surgery (where 100 electrodes got implanted in the right side of her brain) in October 2007 to correct the condition.
    Media played the song to her during a press conference (long after the surgery) and she had no reaction.
    Her story brought flashbacks to those familiar with the story of a woman who suffered seizures triggered by Mary Hart's voice.
    She sang in a choir.
    Prior to her diagnosis, she was forced her to leave her customer service job.
