What is this lure?

I was wading the Tridelphia Res. up in Maryland and my legs
started to tingle, so I started walking back towards bank and it got worse.
Then I finally almost stepped on an unmarked, unburied electrical
cable..ouch. Glad I saw it before I stepped on it.

I think the wet ground you were standing on was what was conducting the
current, not the water.

Distilled water conducts very little. But add some contamination, anything
acid really helps and you get conduction. Most water is not really pure
that is found in nature, and with acid rain, becomes slightly acidic.
Therefore a conductor. Same with the water that comes out of a firehose.
May be non neutral Ph wise, so conducts. And is most likely non neutal Ph
wise.
