I'm no expert at all. I have a BS in Bio and a a two year in technology, and I don't work in either of those fields lol!Forgive my mistake; after some cursory research I think amperage is more what I was referring to, strength of the current itself. I'm only a lowly biologist and don't have much familiarity with the proper terminology here. Interesting to consider this as even lightning strike victims generally survive, albeit with lasting disability. Regardless, I agree I don't think it would cause this.
But when I was in school for molecular Bio, a lot of genetic stuff, we used some ridiculously high voltage apparatus to separate nucleic acids (I believe, I'm fuzzy on the details). But the reason this was safe for undergrad bio students at a state school, no less, was because it was very, very low amperage.
