Slight tingling sensation. Still dangerous under certain conditions. 5mA Slight shock felt; not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. However, strong involuntary reactions to shocks in this range may lead to injuries. 6mA - 16mA Painful shock, begin to lose muscular control. Commonly referred to as the freezing current or "let-go" range. 17mA - 99mA Extreme pain, respiratory arrest, severe muscular contractions. Individual cannot let go. Death is possible. 100mA - 2000mA Ventricular fibrillation (uneven, uncoordinated pumping of the heart.) Muscular contraction and nerve damage begins to occur.
