What Injuries Can Electrocution Cause?
Electrocution injuries can be mild in nature, causing an uncomfortable burning or tingling of the skin.
More serious cases can cause:
- Severe burns, both internally and externally
- Ruptured eardrums and unconsciousness
Infection from serious burn injuries can occur which can lead to a lengthy recovery process. Electricity can cause a person to suffer from cardiac arrhythmia (an irregularity in the rhythm of the heartbeat) which can lead to death.
