Badly wired electrics and water?
Some years ago, I found myself having to occupy a flat in South Sinai, and not in the fleshpots of Sharm either. We were in a small town for 3 months for a project. No hotels. The previous occupant had presumably cooked on an open fire in the kitchen, to judge by the smoke-blackened kitchen walls. There was no direct evidence of goat-keeping but it would not have surprised me.
Anyway, fortunately, before taking a shower on the first evening (having spent all day scrubbing the flat) I tested the warmth of the shower water with my hand before committing my full body to the wetness. Good job I did. The water was live. The muscle relex disconnected me from the 240V supply.
I still have a badly scarred right forearm from when the Chinese jug-kettle welded itself to the base. When I picked it up on boiling, the base came with it, the cable pulled tight and boiling water went over my arm...... I could not drop the kettle as I had sandals on and that would have compounded the situation. The several seconds it took me to get the kettle back down on the worktop and my jumper off doubtlessly compound the burn. Next morning I had what looked like a plastic bag of fluid attached to my forearm. Which necessitated a couple of nights in the local military hospital - fortunately one of my local team was ex-Egyptian army, and pulled a few strings. Otherwise it was an 8 hour fairly deadly drive back to Cairo (as proven for one of the client's team, poor soul, going home for a weekend off).
I could go on about subsequently being given antibiotics diluted with the water from the toilet cistern in the local pharmacy, but I won't, because no-one will believe me.
