Default Grounded outlet

I have gotten 120V shocks before. It's not something I'd want to

my mouth.


ML:

It could indeed be fatal. It's all a matter of how long, how good
a ground, and where it goes through you. Anything 50v or more
should be treated with respect, and favorable situations for
electrocution are not as uncommon as it seems.
