My greenie made him puke!

LOL I'm gonna point it around the classroom board and see who runs to the bathroom.

Or get suspended and have your laser confiscated.

You won't get suspended they'll just be like put it away at least at my school or they'll give it to you after class.

Seizure alert!

Funny how some people can be so affected by flashing light

I hate party strobe lights-no siezure but still an uncomfortable feeling.

Yeah it feels like your watching a low framerate in real life when they flash the lights on and off.

This answer has my vote !

Epileptic predisposition ?

Some colors and flickering (so also quickly repeated moving) lights can start attacks, too .....

It is most likely due to something he ate, but the light may have triggered a small reaction

It seems that I read that the US military (or perhaps it was a military contractor, I don't remember) was working on what they called the "pukelight" which was a glorified flashlight that had 2 or 3 colors of LEDs that blinked in a certain pattern that was supposed to make people nauseous. Not sure how well it worked out or it it ever made it to production but apparently in at least some people certain patterns of light did cause stomach upset, at least enough that someone thought it worthwhile to try and make a non-lethal weapon out of it.

The only effect that I can personally confirm is eye fatigue... Even just looking at beams, not even the dots, tires my eyes quite a bit.

One of my friends did tell me looking at the beam of a 405nm made him feel dizzy.

I think HIMNL9 gave the best answer.

As I side note, I absolute despise strobe lights. Really nothing worse to ruin a good buzz IMO, but for some reason all the club owners think that strobes are great, why... idk.

I have seen more on the "military" high speed strobing of different LED's and there are some test trials in general population being used.
It seems that the rapidly changing flashes can actually cause a sort of "overload" for your brain. It can't process the information as fast as the flashing and the changing colors and it causes immediate nausea with possible puking for some people.
The biggest drawback that I see is that you need to be quite close for it to work as a large part of your field of view needs to be filled with the flashing unit. Or at least your main attention will need to be focussed on it.
So a bright laser with full attention passing over different textures and colored objects could simulate that effect somewhat, but I would tend to think it was more the motion sickness type of thing.
Have you tried buying him a laser cat toy and see if he acts accordingly ?
:evil:

Flashing lights, at certain frequencies and certain colors, CAN effect almost anyone. That's why they started to alter the circuits of strobe lights a few years ago - to PREVENT certain frequencies. Apparantly they CAN impose an eplilepsy-like state in some individuals, even if they don't have epilepsy, when the flashing light or strobe becomes synchronized or nearly synchronized with one's brain waves.

Epileptics are at greater risk;

i had to take a nap after using my 50mw green one night but it was more like eye fatigue.
