Extended data

The harm of lightning to human body includes the direct action of current, overpressure or electric power and high temperature. When a person is struck by lightning, the current will pass through the human body quickly. In severe cases, it will lead to heartbeat, respiratory arrest and brain tissue hypoxia and death. In addition, when lightning strikes, sparks will be generated, which will also cause different degrees of skin burns. Lightning injury can also cause dendritic lightning stripes, epidermal peeling, intradermal bleeding, eardrum or visceral rupture.

The lightning current generated when lightning occurs is the main source of harm, and its harm includes direct lightning strike, induced lightning strike and intrusive lightning guided by overhead lines. For example, overhead lines used in various lighting, telecommunications and other facilities may introduce lightning into the room, so strict preventive measures should be taken.

When you are outdoors, you should avoid it in time and don't stay in the open field. When there is nowhere to hide in the open field, you should try to find a low-lying place (such as a pit) to hide, or squat down immediately to reduce your height. Stay away from isolated trees, towers, telephone poles and billboards. Immediately stop outdoor swimming, boating, fishing and other water activities.
