Just in case you're wondering, it hurts like heck if you touch the

I laughed at my son when he told me that. Then I was testing it one
day. Glad I was outside-- Happy to report the swatter will survive
being thrown 20 feet in the air and landing on the lawn.

I didn't throw mine, but my arm was sore for a while. By that I mean
several minutes (IIRC). Certainly long enough that I won't test it
again.

Of course, it was nothing like the time during USCG Electronics School
that I got hooked onto a 400VDC power supply, hand to hand, across the
chest, until someone pulled the plug.

I came back to class the next day but 2 other guys who had witnessed
the event quit Electronics School and decide on a different career
path. Wimps.

I got 500 vdc once, no one around. High current. A fly swatter is likely to
be less than 30 ma dc max peak.
