If you mean charged yes they can as they hold a lot of voltage for some
time. One of the easiest ways to dissipate the charge is to take a flash
picture then shut of the flash immediately afterwards before it can charge
up again (which generally takes a few seconds). Of course every camera is
different but in general this will reduce or eliminate the charge that the
flash has. Another method is to leave the camera (or at least the flash)
alone for a month and the charge should be dissipated by then.
