What happens in the body after being struck by lightening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short-circuiting: Lightening(electrcity) usually burns at the entry site and explodes out the exit site. The surge of electricty can burn or short circuit the nerves it runs through from entry to exit. It can cause anything from death to no problem. See your doctor.
