Can you have a seizure from being in the sun for too long? My aunt had one, (she doesn't have epilepsy) but I was wondering if that was the cause.

Sounds like Lupus to me. My grandmother had this, and can be very serious if not treated.http://www.lupus.org/education/flares.htmlWith Lupus, sun exposure can trigger 'rash' actions.. 15% of Lupus patiants experience Siezures.-rich

May not be necessarily directly from the sun, but more of what else took place while out in the sun. Like becoming dehydrated. Talk to her doctor about it, just to be on the safe side.
