Myth: Lightning victims carry an electrical charge.

This myth is actually false. When I first saw this article I knew that the myth was false because I’ve heard before that the human body can’t store electricity. I’ve also heard stories about how if you have a connected chain of people and the person on the end grabs an electric fence, the person on the opposite end will get shocked. This shows that the electricity transfers from one body to the next until it has no where else to go but out. By going out it shocks the person while leaving showing that it doesn’t stay in the body or gets stored. If the same principle is applied to lightning then the body can’t store it so it leaves the body giving a very harmful shock on its way out. Which means that if you touch them you won’t get electrocuted because it has already left their system.
