Why is it safe to use wood around high voltage when it contains

Who said that it was?

Lots of people who tap circuit boards with wooden dowels to find
intermittent problems or who carve dowels to use as screwdrivers for
adjustments on CRT monitors or TVs that are running. So far, I've
used only plastic or fiberglass rods for this, but dowels are a lot
easier to buy locally.

I wouldn't want to go poking with one of them thar things around a
flyback transformer, no siree Bob.
