It’s The Current That Kills. Any electrical device used on a house wiring circuit can, under certain conditions, transmit a fatal current. While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal.

Anybody who has erred with an automobile ignition system learned that first hand. Nothing like 40,000 volts at 80 - 120 mA to wake you up! But, fortunately, it’s not the same as having a seat on Ole Sparky.
