I have always heard that the amount of amperage that a power supply could provide to a load, your body, was the real killer. But people on here are saying that under 50 volts is non-lethal.I have heard a story about a navy electrician who poked himself, under the skin, with a probe of a multimeter, to both of his thumbs on his hands, having them come in contact with his blood. When he turned it on to find the ohmage, the 9V Multimiter, fibrillated his heart, killing him. CNN reported that a milionth of an amp can kill you, 1 micro amp. If this is true, than why doesnt a tazer kill you? The barbs on a tazer rip in to the skin, making a complete circuit, just as the 9V Multimeter case. Whats the real deal here?
