What is fxelectric shock?

Electric shock occurs when the body comes into contact with an electrical current. This can happen through direct contact with a live wire, or through contact with water or a conductive surface that is in contact with electricity. Electric shock can range from mild to severe, depending on the voltage and current of the electrical source.

Symptoms of electric shock can include burns, muscle contractions, numbness, tingling, difficulty breathing, and even loss of consciousness. In severe cases, electric shock can lead to cardiac arrest and death.

Treatment for electric shock involves removing the person from the electrical source, performing CPR if necessary, and seeking immediate medical attention. It is important to never touch a person who is still in contact with the electrical source, as the current can also pass through you.

Preventing electric shock involves taking precautions such as using grounded outlets, avoiding contact with live wires, and following safety protocols when working with electricity. It is important to always be cautious around electrical sources to avoid the risk of electric shock.
