Episode notes
Get Out Of Water During Lightning
- Avoid swimming or showering during a thunderstorm because water conducts electricity and spreads lightning energy on the surface.
- Get out of water and seek shelter when you hear thunder or see lightning to reduce risk.
Hosts Share Childhood Sayings
- Melody and Jane joked about being in closets while joining the conversation on lightning and water.
- Melody shared a child-era memory of being told not to go out with wet hair, illustrating how these sayings persist.
Don't Swallow Gum
- Avoid swallowing gum because it was never meant to be ingested and offers no benefit if swallowed.
- Most swallowed gum passes through your digestive system and will be pooped out without causing long-term harm.
