Charlie, I'm just saying that, once the seizure is initiated from whatever cause, most seizures of any kind are self-limited and last just a minute or two. That's true for ox-tox as well as even those resulting from structural abnormalities. But occasionally, seizures become self-perpetuating. Sometimes that's because the underlying cause is not relieved (for example, seizing from drug toxicity) but sometimes it just happens.
There haven't been that many well-documented ox-tox events, lethal or survived, but it wouldn't surprise me to run into a single one where the seizures were persistent. The woman in question had been exposed to the level of O2 that was associated with her seizure for some time before and after the seizure began, and that may have had something to do with it, too.
