Mike…you brought this to my attention about 8-9 years ago when I first got on your frequency. Since then I’ve been using my Fluke NCVT every time we hook up to a pedestal. So far, I’ve never encountered a hot skin, but I ALWAYS check!
Mike, You wrote: "...only 10 mA to 30 mA of current through your heart can put it into fibrillation which can result in death within 5 minutes or so without emergency intervention."
What is the best way to rescue a person who has receives an electrical shock and gone into A-fib? An article on first aid to electrocution victims would be well received.
Thanks Mike for continuing to spread the word and raise awareness about hazards like hot skin conditions. So many people are completely unaware of this kind of hazard and therefore at risk should it occur.
Thanks very much. The important takeaway for everyone is that you should never feel a shock while touching anything plugged into an electrical outlet. If you do it could quickly become deadly.

I already have such an article. I’ll post it here next week.
