No Cellphone During Storms

December 27, 2007

    Three doctors in an issue of the "British Medical Journal" warn of the risk of using mobile phones outdoors during stormy weather. If someone struck by lightning, the high resistance of human skin results in lightning being conducted over the skin without entering the body. This is known as flashover and has a low death rate. However, conductive materials such as liquids or metallic objects disrupt the flashover and result in internal injury with greater deathrates.
