Hello everyone,

I was doing some work on the web site today, and came across a number of new links that you might find interesting. Here they are:

Barb,

As yet, no one has done enough research to really know the differences between electrical shock and lightning injuries--but there may be some--for example, the shock from a lightning strike is very short-lived--the shock from an electrical injury and last much longer. We know there are some similarities between the two--but we don't as yet know the extent of the differences. I wish I knew more.

National Library of Medicine PubMed has tons of articles on electrical injuries. Just search "electrical injuries" on the web site below.
