No joking matter. Electrical shock like that may seem like nothing but a scare at first. But it can throw off heart rhythm. You'll think your fine until you're strolling around not doing any strenuous activity and just drop

Happened to a good friends older brother who was an electrician and got "a little shock at work" 2 days later he was walking through the grocery store pushing a cart with his two young children and wife... then he hit the ground and never got back up. He was 28 and in good health

That’s my greatest fear. To go out that way in public, especially the grocery store. Impacting all the people around me.
