Anyone know anyone who had a few "minor shocks" twenty years ago that is still alive and healthy today? Electrical damage to your heart is cumulative and if not addressed right away, permanent. It can be reversed in may cases if you seek immdiate medical attention.
Even a minor jolt from a broken heater can set your heart up with an arrhythmia that could become a heart attack acouple of days later.

Well I guess I am going to be dead in about 10 years time. lol I have gotten minor shocks about 20 times in my life and im 27. Mostly feels like a burning sensation on the tips of my fingers.

I have been electrocuted through 220 as well when I was about 14 from a dryer that was not properly hooked up. Actually seized my body for a few seconds till I was able to pull myself away, I was lucky that time.

I have also but shocked probably over a 100 times from electrical fences. Those hurt way more than 115v tingles.

There was another time stray voltage from an underground power main found its way up to basement in a condo complex and I got hit with that a few times. I was really young then, my mother lost some strength in her arm from that. Her arm was never the same again.

Sometimes I think I could hold a light bulb and it would turn on

Maybe I will be dead in 3 years time.
