About this document
Effects of Lightning Strikes on Humans by api-267827673 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Lightning strikes over 4 million times per day and around 700 people survive strikes each year. When someone is struck, they may experience burns, ruptured eardrums, fractures, and bruises on the heart from the electricity. Survivors report being lifted off the ground and briefly losing consciousness. In rare cases, lightning can improve vision or reduce pain. Lightning comes in many forms from streaks to balls, and scientists still do not fully understand its origins or why it strikes.
