Electric Eel

Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

Ashock from an electric eel is like the brief, numbing jolt from a stun gun. Normally, shock can't kill a person. However, eels can cause heart failure or respiratory failure from multiple shocks or in persons with underlying heart disease. More often, deaths from electric eel shocks occur when the jolt knocks a person in the water and they drown.
