Oh my. It suddenly comes to me, Fabrizio, that we are probably talking
about two different things. I have been reading your original term
"folgorations" as meaning "fulguration", a medical term meaning 'to burn
or dessicate tissue with electric current *as a treatment*, as in
removing skin lesions. I suddenly think you are actually referring to
accidental electrocution, not medical therapy.... A peek in my Italian
dictionary for the definition of 'folgorare' (to paralyze or strike
down) did give me a hint.
If this is the case, your talk to children does make a lot more sense.
It was tough to figure when thinking in terms of a medical/surgical
therapy.
Is this the case?
