The woman averred that shortly before or during a thunder storm she always became nauseated.

MacDonald offers as a physiologic explanation of this case that probably the impression produced forty-two years before implicated the right brachial plexus and the afferent branches of the pneumogastric, and to some degree the vomiting center in the medulla; hence, when the atmosphere was highly charged with electricity the structures affected became more readily impressed.

Camby relates the case of a neuropathic woman of thirty-eight, two of whose children were killed by lightning in her presence.

She herself was unconscious for four days, and when she recovered consciousness, she was found to be hemiplegic and hemianesthetic on the left side.

She fully recovered in three weeks.
Two years later, during a thunder storm, when there was no evidence of a lightning-stroke, she had a second attack, and three years later a third attack under similar circumstances.
There are some ocular injuries from lightning on record.
