It really depends on how much voltage is present in relation to the current; your physiogamy (heart condition, pacemakers, etc,) and how/where it is applied, age and your individual body resistance. Is it across the arms from voltage source to ground (one hand to the other) crossing through the chest? Is it a lightning strike?
A typical television's high voltage section runs at 15,734 hz. per second and generally ranges from an average of 19,500 to 23,000 volts. The average current available is seven milliamps, or .007 amps. Most people can handle a discharge from a TV, but it most likely will cause an adrenaline release in your body. Then, for about 45 minutes or so, you'll feel great. Then after that, you can expect a feeling of heavy fatigue as the adrenaline dissipates. I've been personally zapped several times over the years and that's about the only ill effects I've ever encountered.
ON the other hand, an electronic ignition coil can put out anywhere from approximately 35,000 to 100,000 volts at a much higher current. It too produces the same effect as a TV high voltage discharge, plus a numbing of the extremity inviolved.
Yet, we know too, that people have survived lightning strikes, and we're talking roughly a million volts at thousands of amps, and they too have survived the incident with little or no apparent damage (but not in all cases).
Having been burned by radio frequency from a ham transmitter running at 75 watts output, I encountered a very nasty little burn as I brushed up against the antenna with my thumb, which bore a perfectly round, 1/8" hole into my skin, cauterized the wound and left it complete with a scab to cover the hole. That was an especially nasty wound and it hurt for several days afterward, but I suffered no other ill effects.
It's possible place your hands on both terminals of a car battery at 12 volts, yet it has the storage capacity of a few hundred "cold cranking amps" and not feel a thing. Stick a 9 volt transistor radio battery to your tongue and you'll definitely feel a tingle, but on a "dead short" that same battery can deliver up to a whopping 80 amps for a fraction of a second.
How many milliamps? At what frequency? AC, pulsed DC or RF? At what voltage? For how long?
The whole point is that it varies from individual to individual and on many other conditions. Simple rule of thumb: Keep one hand in your pocket when working on anything where the potential to shock you is present, and don't believe "trueisms" concerning electricity.

Who ruled the world before the Volturi?
humans did cause the volturi had not became vampires yet
Why do all angels have male name if they are just angels?
because humans made them male names, before male humans were named these names, they were simply genderless names.
When was France discivered?
France has been populated by humans for hundreds of thousands of years, before written history. Neanderthals have even lived there. Cave paintings by humans exist from 20,000 years ago in Lascaux France.
What is power ragers?
Power Rangers are a group of humans selected to fight off an invasion of villains typically Space Aliens. A Mentor typically selects the humans to become the new team of Power Rangers and then they are charged with protecting their city and planet from their villains that either want to conquer the world or destroy it. All Power Rangers have 5 or 6 members and most Rangers have combat weapons and all Rangers have zords in the case of a gigantic emergency that results in a monster growing to giant proportions.
What is the relationship between humans and trees?
Both are eukaryotic organisms (their cells contain a nucleus). Both are multicellular, carbon based life forms. The common ancestor of humans and trees most likely occurred before the Cambrian period, more than 600 million years ago.
Is alcohol injurious to health?
All alcohols (they are a type of chemicals) are injurious to health. Humans do use ethanol and in very small quantities humans can tolerate this.
Are cats hedonistic?
Absolutely! Most cats are concerned only with what will make them happy. They tolerate their humans because of what the humans can do for them. Reply: But what makes you think that being friends with humans... doesn't make cats happy?
What means before humans?
The prehistoric era was before humans.
What is the lowest humidity that humans can tolerate?
Humans can tolerate indoor humidity levels as low as 30-40% without experiencing discomfort or health issues. However, outdoor humidity levels can vary greatly, and extreme low humidity levels below 20% can lead to dry skin, throat irritation, and exacerbate respiratory conditions.
What typically eats cow?
Humans.
Is it legal to eat other humans?
Typically, no.
What type of forelimbs do humans have?
Typically, arms.
How many feet do humans have?
2, typically.
What effect does wheat gluten have on cats?
Most cats cannot tolerate wheat gluten in their diets. They will develop an allergy to it, just like some humans.
What does the prehistoric or preliterate era refers to?
The prehistoric or preliterate era refers to a time period before written records existed. This era typically encompasses the development of humans and early civilizations before the invention of writing systems. Archaeological evidence is often used to study and understand this period.
How Is Malaria Passed On To Humans?
typically via mosquitoes
Are Chameleons Good Class Pets?
Chameleons often assosiate their owner as the one who feeds them. They only really tolerate humans. Unlike other reptile pets.
