Hum... tricky one... each persons reaction is different.
Electric shock (no matter what voltage) can cause a bad reaction.
First Aid advice (via My current employers HS dept) is straight to A&E
for a cardiograph.

AC
110V (55-0-55) ouch
240V (Domestic, can be nasty - A&E for anything above a minor touch
advised but not forced to go)
415V (3 phase) = Dead.
Anything greater than 415V = Dead.

DC
Charged capacitor above 50V hurts
Microwave 5kV or more capacitor = very nasty, A&E strongly advised.
