Perhaps it should be noted that in the main 220 - 250v countries tend to have a 50Hz frequency, to which the human body is more susceptible, than the 110-120v countries that tend to be 60Hz. Legally in most countries high voltage is above 48v (AC or DC). If the conditions are right only a mere 15mA passing through the body can have dangerous effects.
