A commonly known fact about fluorescent lightbulbs is that the flickering from the bulbs has been reported to trigger migraines or even seizures. A lesser known fact is that the fluorescent light also can aggravate skin rashes in people with lupus, eczema, or dermatitis.

As many people are switching out their regular incandescent bulbs to the ?€?greener?€? fluorescent bulbs, this needs to be kept in mind if any of the above mentioned symptoms occur or worsen.
