Can electric shocks cause radiation poisoning?

183 views

My rough understanding is that 1) electric shocks are caused by rapid movement of electrons through parts of our body and 2) ionizing radiation is damaging because it creates charged particles, including electrons, that can destructively impact molecules in our cells. How then does radiation damage medically differ from electric damage?

And here’s me assuming if anything electrical was going to mess with your body it’d be an electric blanket. Constant electro-magnetic field. Not saying it does hurt you but I wouldn’t even put intermittent electric shocks or cell phone radiation in the same category as something like an electric heating pad.
