Getting electrocuted in the KOW
Getting electrocuted in the KOW
So is there any real benefit to burying someone in sand after electrocution? Any? Usually there’s some basis in fact for these folk remedies. It beats me tho

I do know that if it's fatal they bury people in the sand, just significantly deeper...

Re: Getting electrocuted in the KOW
when someone gets electrocuted the body heats up, In extreme cases it actually gets cooked, so burying in sand cools the body.

If you survive the shock without going into cardiac arrest, you will most likely survive the entire experience.
The burns caused by the shock are another matter and need treating just like any other burns, but if the burns are very severe due to a large and prolonged shock, then you are probably going to be dead from the shock in the first place. But, if not, your burns can still kill you if not treated properly. They might still do for you anyway.
Getting buried in filthy sand with an open burn wound is not going to improve your prognosis.
