“…The most important resistor to the flow of current from lightening electricity is skin [5]. Estimated are 50,000 thunderstorms, 8 million lightning flashes [6], with mortality rate of 30% [7] and survival rate of 70% [8], affecting more people of less than 40years of age [9]. The effect depends on the intensity of current, voltage, body exposure among others [10].…”

Electric current constitutes potential hazards across the globe. In view of this, literatures were assessed for determination of lethal dose of electric current that would kill 50% of human (LD50), using cardiorespiratory pathological signs. The low LD50 value of electric current (36.5±21.3mA) and voltage (11.0±6.4 V) respectively, suggest very serious toxicity. The vital toxicity signs were paralysis of respiratory muscle and ventricular fibrillation. Hence, electric current should be avoided since it is severely hazardous.
