The typical range of problematic frequencies for photosensitive epilepsy is around 3-30Hz (with e.g. the UK having laws that govern flashing lights in the 2-50Hz range). One small chunk of text blinking at a 1s interval (1Hz), while annoying, is almost certainly not a seizure risk.

Don't put crap in your page which can trigger neurological events, even if it isn't technically epilepsy!
