An ionizer [as a part of a home or room air filtering system] discharges 
millions, billion and trillions of negative ions per second.  Knowing that, will 
a home that has such a devise be more apt to by struck by lightening as opposed 
to the same home without and ionizer.??

During a thunderstorm is an ionizer more apt to "stream up" when on than when 
off.??

Thank you.
