Excerpt from
THE HANDBOOK FOR LIGHTNING STRIKE
SURVIVORS
Victims who don’t suffer post-traumatic stress can still suffer acute unreasonable fears of lightning, partly due to a natural response, but equally due to the damaged nervous system, responding to both internal and external stimuli. For example, if a victim gets goose bumps or feels a tingling sensation, he may relive the strike, reacting with trepidation even when there’s not a cloud in the sky.
