In Mexico, in a very miserable chapter of my life, in an outbuliding the light bulb in the ceiling was misthreaded. So I stood on a chair to fix it and made sure the light switch was off. My 2 1/2 yr old child turned it on, the other adults obviously weren’t being responsible. I lost consciousness except for the odd experience of being surcharged with 220, someone tried to grab and was thrown off, finally someone got the bright idea to turn the light off.

I feel down and was alive.

220 can kill you if you get it the wrong way. Not that there’s a right way.

Being in the electric utility industry, I’ve gotten jolted a few times form 120, 220, 240, 208, and the worst one, 135 volts DC. That DC will knock buzzard off a corpse buggy. That one hurt! I think that if it wasn’t for my sweaty hands being together to pass the current, I’d have possibly been killed.

You have had some close calls. Be careful, there may be more for you to do in this world.
