sicklers are as any normal person so they can get seizure not because sickle cell disease , but because any other disease
A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
in sickle cell trait you don't actually have the disease. you are only able to pass the disease to your kids if you marry a person with sickle cell or that also has the trait. sickle cell disease is when you actually have the disease. you can pass it to your kids if you marry someone with the trait or the disease. if you marry someone without a trait or disease then your kids will most likely have the trait.
Sickle-cell anemia can only be transmitted if both partners have the disease.
A person with one sickle cell is a "carrier". This means that they have the dormant cell in their genetic composition, and if combined with another with the "carrier" gene, they run the high risk on concieving a child with the blood disease-one who has two sickle cells. A person with two sickle cells, has the sickle cell disease and are carriers(The gene is not dormant but active). Hope this simplifies and explains it for you.
Sickle cell disease can be a serious and life-threatening condition if not managed properly. Complications such as infections, acute chest syndrome, and stroke can lead to serious health issues and even death. With proper medical care, including regular monitoring and treatment, individuals with sickle cell disease can lead full and productive lives.

Yes, it is an inherited disorder.

No. Sickle Cell is not an infectious disease, but is genetic.
