It's got more than enough oomph to kill anyone, if 240 will kill a horse.

With a human, a few watts are enough, and these are capable of hundreds.

1mA at 240v is enough to kill a human - animals are supposedly even
more sensitive.


It's the mills that kills but the volts that jolts.

My lecturer at Uni had a research project that involved passing
currents through the hearts of aneasthetised animals to see what
current would make them die. He said it was about 10 mA
