Lichtenberg Figures

Lichtenberg Figures

Lichtenberg figures, also known as the “picture of the lightning” are fern-like images formed on the skin of individuals struck by lightning. Lightning not only leads to severe burns but also causes other effects such as arrythmias by disturbing the electrical balance of cells. These marks, however, disappear in a few hours to days. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6778988_Narrative_Review_Electrocution_and_Life-Threatening_Electrical_Injuries/figures?lo=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic3
