electrical shock is no joke if your talking 110vac or higher, it can cause heart failure you should be monitored for 24 hrs, also you could be burnt in the inside of your body. less of 1 amp can kill you

electric pulses. everything in our body is controled by electricity. thats why you can start or stop a heart with electronic shock.

The damage may not be immediately evident, but little by little the components in a computer are damaged by Voltage Spikes. Voltage spikes occur, not just during electrical storms but also from other electrical equipment like fluorescent lights and electric motors.\nI thought that i was protected but I used to have component failures until bought a good surge suppressor and I don't mean the cheap things they sell in the computer stores. You need to get one that comes with a guarantee, like "This unit will perform as intended for 10 years or we will replace it free of charge".\nI have seen so call surge protectors that have lights on that tell you that it is working. After a voltage surge, a pop was hear and the thing rattled when shaken. The light, however, still came on.\nI recommend Innovative Technology  surge suppressors. They have an excellant sine wave follow device that I have been using for over 10 years. I have not had any hardware failures since I bought it.\nIf the computer is turned OFF, it can still be damaged. It needs to be unplugged to be safe.

Your saliva could cause the glass to quickly cool, causing it to shatter.  That would be particularly painful.\n\nThen as an after effect, should your tongue touch one of the filament electrodes, you would also receive a painful electric shock.\n\nNow, if we're talking flashlight bulbs, then you probably have little to worry about as far as the occurence of either of these.

An electric shock can occur upon contact of a human or animal body with any source of voltage high enough to cause sufficient current flow through the muscles or nerves. The minimum detectable current in humans is thought to be about 1 mA. The current may cause tissue damage or heart fibrillation if it is sufficiently high. When (and only when) an electric shock is fatal, it is called electrocution.\n\nAn electric shock is usually painful and can be lethal. The level of voltage is not a direct guide to the level of injury or danger of death, despite the common misconception that it is. A small shock from static electricity may contain thousands of volts but has very little current behind it due to high internal resistance. Physiological effects and damage are generally determined by current and duration. Even a low voltage causing a current of extended duration can be fatal. Ohm's Law directly correlates voltage and current for a given resistance; thus, for a particular path through the body under a particular set of conditions, a higher voltage will produce a higher current flow.\n\nShock effects:-\nPsychological\nThe perception of electric shock can be different depending on the voltage, duration, current, path taken, frequency, etc. Current entering the hand has a threshold of perception of about 5 to 10 milliamperes (mA) for DC and about 1 to 10 mA for AC at 60 Hz. Shock perception declines with increasing frequency, ultimately disappearing at frequencies above 15-20 kHz.\n\nPhysiological:-\n\nBurns:- Tissue heating due to resistance can cause extensive and deep burns. High-voltage (> 500 to 1000 V) shocks tend to cause internal burns due to the large energy (which is proportional to the square of the voltage) available from the source. Damage due to current is through tissue heating.\n\nVentricular fibrillation:- A low-voltage (110 to 220 V), 60-Hz AC current traveling through the chest for a fraction of a second may induce ventricular fibrillation at currents as low as 60mA. With DC, 300 to 500 mA is required. If the current has a direct pathway to the heart (e.g., via a cardiac catheter or other electrodes), a much lower current of less than 1 mA, (AC or DC) can cause fibrillation. Fibrillations are usually lethal because all the heart muscle cells move independently. Above 200mA, muscle contractions are so strong that the heart muscles cannot move at all.\n\nNeurological effects:- Current can cause interference with nervous control, especially over the heart and lungs. When the current path is through the head, it appears that, with sufficient current, loss of consciousness almost always occurs swiftly. (This is borne out by some limited self-experimentation by early designers of the electric chair. and by research from the field of animal husbandry, where electric stunning has been extensively studied)\n\nPoint of Entry:-\n\nMacroshock Current flowing across intact skin and through the body. Current traveling from arm to arm, or between an arm and a foot, is likely to traverse the heart, and so is much more dangerous than current traveling between a leg and the ground.\n\nMicroshock Direct current path to the heart tissue

the main side effect is tachycardia which is rapid heartbeat. Go to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002636.htm#Symptoms for advice if you have such a patient, and as soon as possible. That website is a national N.I.H. (U.S.A.), poison information site.\nYou should answers for the following questions before the contact.\nthe patient's age, weight, and condition \nthe name of the product (ingredients and strengths if known) \nthe time it was swallowed \nthe amount swallowed \nAlso contact the local poison control center.\nGood luck

I, too, had horrible headaches. They gave me ibuprofen 800mg. It took some edge off, but not enough. Pain killers weren't an option for me, as I had addiction. I wouldn't recommend ECT either. It was horrible for me. I had it done 7 times and it never helped. It gave me memory loss, short term and long term. I was going through a divorce and I don't even remember why or how I felt or acted. Good luck and Bless You.

Well there is a small risk that you could get shocked. I know someone that has damage done to their arm because lighting hit their house and they got shocked through the mouse.

Take precautions against static electricity, especially when you open the box or handle the chip.  Mild static damage can ruin miniature electronics like chips easily.  If you felt the shock, it was probably enough to ruin it right away, more mild damage should show up within six months.\n\nYou've probably learned the static rules, then forgotten bits.  I know I have.  Here's a refresher. http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Computer_Science/2002/static.asp

Basically when you are excersizing your muscles store energy and when your muscles exceed the amount of force that can be put on them you feel an electric shock released from your muscles due to over working your muscles.

the immediate effects of heat applications is to draw blood away from the interior and bring it to the surface temporarily. A secondary more lasting effect occurs after the heat is discontinued, when the blood returns to the interior body. Heat increases circulation, metabolism,inflammation,decreases pain, muscle spasm,and tissue stiffness.

Sorry to hear of your friends difficulties!  The opinions regarding ECT and its side effects are widly varied and often contested.  One side stating it as almost harmless and the other beleveing it is akin to torture.  Finding the truth can be hard and depends on the practioners and individual PT greatly.  Most will agree that ther will be some degree of memorey and even motor loss for a period of time. Just how much and how long are of great debate.  \n\nMost people suffer the greatest loss in the short term and as their brains "reorganize" over time memorey improves substantualy.  There may always be some amnesia surrounding the time of the treatments, but that is usually not of any significance in the long run.  Profound long term memorey or motor problems have been linked to improper aplication of ECT treatments, uncontrolled seazures during or post ECT leading to hypoxia or arrest, very long series of treatments or extended treatment cycles for unresponsive or  relapsing PTs, and other rare fators or occurances.  \n\nIf you friend continues to have prolonged difficulties or the symptoms increase, please incurage her to speak with her psychiatrist about the problem.  Even if it is something that is affecting her life greatly or a concern to her, she should bring the concerns up to her mental health provider.  There are many resources on the web to help both of you in dealing with  this problem.  Just google ECT side effects or other related topic and you will get lots of hits.  Just don't take any one as the absolute word on the matter, look around and decide for yourselves.\n\nGood luck to you and your friend!

Electric?  If you mean do you get shocked by everything you touch, then yes, that happens to me all the time.

you mean static shocks its built up sdick electricity and when you touch metal it discharges. there for shocking you. its not real elctrisity.

You should get it back eventually...you may want to consider seeing a doctor especially if it was a hard jolt.

My husband they sent to physical therapy & they used light electrical shocks on that side of his face. It worked great & varily quickly. No sign of it now.
