00:00 In France, 200 to 300 people are stung each year.
00:03 Some escape with very few sequels and others can die.
00:06 How is it possible?
00:07 What does it do to our body to be hit by lightning?
00:10 When a person is directly hit by lightning, it is all the organs that can take it very dearly.
00:15 In particular, the heart and the brain.
00:17 If, for example, lightning hits you, from the head to the feet, it is usually the nerves that are affected.
00:23 You can lose sight, hearing, you can have a stroke,
00:26 and it can also cause other disturbances such as erection disorders.
00:30 No, it's...
00:30 *groan*
00:31 And often you lose consciousness or even fall into a coma.
00:33 And some victims can even lose their memory.
00:35 The most important cause of death is cardiac arrest at the time of lightning.
00:41 Well, now that you know all that, you don't have to trigger a lightning phobia either.
00:44 But I advise you not to take it lightly either.
