Electrical question

[Bud]

How about 100mA (0.1A) for 3 seconds. At 16mA you may not be able to let go.

20ma under reasonably ordinary conditions is quite lethal. The question is how much of the current flow actually goes through your body (versus somewhere else) and how long it happens. Skin resistance, parallel paths, etc. etc. etc.

Under extra-ordinary conditions, MUCH lower currents can be lethal. In surgery, currents on the order of a few _microamps_ can be fatal.
