Tongue Stud Blamed for Lightning Attack?

Wednesday July 16, 2003
A woman with a tongue piercing was recently hit by lightning and her body jewelry evidentally conducted the electricity as it surged through her body.

Although most news reports are trying to blame the tongue stud for her being struck in the first place, there is very little chance that the tongue jewelry had anything to do with her attracting the bolt.

You can discuss this story on the message board with the other members and see how others feel about the validity of these claims.
