Does carrying a cell phone and/or wearing earbuds attract lightning when i'm outside?

May be: A nuclear catastrophe is not imminent. The world is not going to end from radiation, heat waves, tornadoes, typhoons, lightening, floods, earthquakes, cold wave or any thing else like that. Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

I suppose: Not very likely.but I would not wear such an antenna if I was in salt water with a salt soaked bathing suit. Lightning can strike anywhere, but it would still be rare to hit someone. If U hear thunder, get out of water, and dont hide under a tree either. When&If lighting strikes a tree it can explode.

NO: But you do if your out in an electrical storem

More info needed: I'm not aware of any studies on the risk of lightning strike as related to either earbuds or cellphone use. Perhaps if you are a researcher, you could help the world by pioneering this information; OR if you are in line for a Darwin Award, you could help the world by collecting data in this area; preferably not the latter. Stay out of the water and away from anything that could act as an antenna.
