This book delves into the previously unexplored impact of high-voltage electrical currents on the human body, a subject that remained largely unstudied until the late 19th century with the advent of widespread electricity use. The author draws on historical accounts of lightning strikes and accidents involving electrical machinery to shed light on the physiological effects of these powerful currents, including immediate injuries, neurological symptoms, and psychological impacts. The book contributes to our understanding of the human body's response to electrical stimuli and underscores the importance of safety measures when working with electricity.
