Does eating lamb during pregnancy cause the baby to get epilepsy?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I went to a hot pot restaurant with some friends to eat lamb. When I came back, my mom said she heard I ate lamb and scolded me severely, saying that I shouldn't eat lamb because I'm pregnant—it could cause epilepsy in the baby. I feel so sad. These past couple of days, I've been so worried that I can't even eat. What if my baby gets epilepsy in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Got pregnant and ate lamb, the baby will definitely not get epilepsy. Lamb has nothing to do with epilepsy. There is no scientific basis for believing that eating lamb will cause Bob to get epilepsy. However, it is best to eat less lamb when pregnant, as there are many parasites in it. It should be thoroughly cooked before eating. Additionally, lamb is highly warming, and eating too much can easily cause a fire in the body, so it is not recommended to eat it. There are many treatments for epilepsy, but since the patient's condition is different, the diagnostic methods used will also be different. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the right treatment can be administered.
