twice though, the first one exposed my nerve sensitivity to even minuscle current, ordinary monitor de been shock me anyhow for my workplace, the second one made me develop self configurable genetic mutation, i heal faster and better than normal people, in fact almost all my scar has vanished, as an AA person, once i notice early signs of Malaria, and take just one tablet of the medicine, it'll take a long time and prolonged exposure to plasmodium before i fall sick of it again

You know Michael Jackson used to touch an electric ball everyday on waking up. They told him the shock would help his body rejuvenate

Don't mind the dude.... I saw his post I just decided to let him wallow in his aftermath of electricity. He's alive to tell the story that is why he hasn't grasped the whole concept of electric shock.

LAIZA, the medical specialist should rush to answer you.

It was simply BUTTERFLIES in your stomach, it's nothing serious.

If it were lightening, you won't be able to type this thing.

Oga, stop giving wrong advice. After that insect sting, I was sick for 3 days.

Scorpion sting is nothing compared to that hornet.

It was raining yesterday and Fortunately Nepa refused to take light.....

I was Charging my phone and surfing the Internet when the Lightening struck.....

What saved me was my phone that dropped off my hands, i would have been gone by now....

My vision became blurry while my legs and hands went numb.....

Have anyone experienced such?

And what should be the first Aid treatment?..

Was charging and pressing the phone when the Lightening and thunder struck..

Even me sef think say the phone no go work again.... But it's working fine....

Just that i am still feeling dizzy....

I experienced same thing when i was in secondary school ,Was charging and using phone when it happened i went blank as all i remembered was being tied and shoot at in a firing squad ..lol , i did see my late mums dad as one of the shooters .

My brother was at my back and he said he saw how it the lighting entered me and after that i was full of little sparks over my body ..

I cant forget that day , thou my mum forbid both of us to ever talk of it to anyone as she say wasn't a good thing to talk about

that lightning didn't go through you or your phone man. there is no way the phone will ever work after receiving just normal 220v from the socket in your house not to talk of lightning that is sometimes in the range of 1 million volts. the highest transmission towers from power stations in Nigeria carry only 330 kv and you can even hear the sound of it going through the cable at some distance away not to talk of 3x that.
what you have is panic attack not anything from the lightning. all the same go to hospital and check out your blood pressure and heart echo tests.

Boss it happened to me real life and my bro saw it all , maybe its not our turn to die ..

Beside google and you will see other instances .havnt you heard of d man struck by most lighting ?

What struck is lightning and not thunder they both take place the same time but because lighter is faster than sound we see lightning before we hear the thunder. But it is lightning that kills and not thunder.

It is not Lightining that strikes you but a panic attack. Can you show us the burning injury on your body? No way a lightining can strike you and no burning signs on your skin

How am I giving wrong advice? The insect sting didn't give you the illness, it was your reaction to the sting that made you sick. Plus I still maintain it wasn't an hornet. The sting is painful but not poisonous nor wqs it venomous.

Earthing system in your house is faulty. Meaning your house is not properly earthed.

Then you should have known lighting is static ,DC and has nothing to do with 220 which is AC and flux

My own was around 2016, I was watching movies on my laptop and at the same time charging my laptop during my IT at the site and plug in my earpiece on , as the lightning strike , my earpiece shock me for ear cheesy

Yes, I experience my own year back when I dey listening radio while the radio was on my hand and the lightening strike, Na so him shocked me and the radio immediately got damage.

Sorry who taught you DC doesn't have voltage? A 220v ac referred as root mean square voltage is equivalent to 156v dc
Lighting is an multiple impulse signal of magnitude 30 million voltages and 30,000 Amps current. If you are a student of electrical engineering you know what just 10 amps going through your body by 240v at a fraction of a second is enough to kill you instantly.
I repeat there is no way lightning can go through a small mirochips environment like phone and that phone to ever work again. It is impossible. And there is no way lightining can touch a body without any burning sign on the skin at least at the area of contact.

Lighting is not good mehn. Anything metallic attracts it. I remember a certain time I put my legs on an iron railings, and it wanted to rain. Lighting just struck and I felt electric shock on my leg. The iron conducted electrical current brought by lightning. Anytime it's raining and there is thunderstorms, avoid plugging any device to electrical power while using it.

I have experienced it before. And I should also say that I am a graduate of electronic and electrical engineering.
This is our it went. My sister was charging her phone and was using her phone. I was charging too but I was using a hands free listening to music. Lighting struck and our inverter outside was hit. Let me let you know that for every 1000 rain, one lighting comes close to the ground level. That is why there have been cases where antennas were struck and electronics connected to it were damaged.
And the occurrence of that is slim per each rain.

She felt the shock on her phone and I was very dizzy for that while. Light went off also in that instance because we were on inverter supply before. The inverter was destroyed.

I only felt dizzy because I was connected through the hands free.
She felt the shock because she was holding her phone.
Our phones were both fine because the inverter was hit by the lightning and that fraction of the high voltage electricity from the lightning was enough to damage the inverter and thereby cutting off electricity to the phones plug socket.
