I will share my two "Lucky dates "with electricity. Don't try it, you may NOT be "lucky" as me to later write this.
In my adolescence, I was curious to know what electricity to feels to like! So I decided to experiment. I took a thin strand of copper wire and touched it on the exposed circuit of the lamp on the switch board. Luckly, I touched after the resister on the circuit, so I felt a light vibration or kind of tingling feeling on my finger and hand and my hand was "thrown out" as if someone smashed on my elbow. There was no circuit breaker installed at that time. That was my first "Lucky Date" with electricity.
Later in my teenage, I got a real shock from a bad soldering iron, where I felt vibrations and heat in whole body and whole body was stunned/numb. I wanted ask for help but couldn't. I felt panicked and fear of death also caught me. Somehow, fuse burned I got a new lease life. When I recall that, I still feel that dirty vibrations. Later, somebody told it not a hazardous shock, otherwise I would have instantaneously died. So that was my second lucky experience.
With two above experiences, I got curious to know effects of electricity on human body. So started reading about it. I can say the slight vibrations/numbness, tingling that you feel while touching electronic equipments is leaked electricity passing through your body. At a lower current, you get vibration feeling. A higher current your body will get it instantly paralysed, you may be still conscious. At a very high current, your brain may pass out as brain can not handle the surge of signals. Your whole nervous system works on very light electrical signals(milli volts) and your organs works with those nerve signals. When you get a electric shock, you are applying multi folds of current on the nervous system. Upto an extent your nervous system will respond with a surge of funny sensations, beyond that you nervous system fails, resulting muscle contractions and organs failures.
In nutshell, deaths due to electric shock are extremely painfull. So please exercise necessary precautions while handling electrical equipments .
I hope it helps.
