Every year in the U.S. tens of thousands of people are killed or injured from contact with electricity. Some of these people are kids just like you. The more you know about how electricity works, the better you can keep yourself ,your family, and your friends safe.

                                Electric shock can cause muscle spasms, weakness, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, or death. Burns occur all along that path, including the places on the skin where the current enters and leaves the body. Not only giant power lines that can kill or injure you if you contact them. You can also be killed by a shock from an appliance or power cord in your home. So stay away from electricity unless you know what you're doing.
