Electric shocks?

[ajay_22_86]

I know this is a silly question... but are people with mechanical valves more likely to die from electric shocks? I'm not talking about the shocks that will kill most...but... I don't know, smaller shocks?

Not to my knowledge. Wanna have some fun? Shoot yourself with a Taser.

Yah........... what about tasers used on us valvers?
That wouldn't be pretty I wouldn't think.

Over the years, I have had household electrical shocks with no problem.

That could be an interesting and important question for farmers and ranchers, who often use electrified fencing to keep livestock contained.

I've had quite bad shocks when I visited family in India (prior to surgery!). They have these huge fans in a box which you poor water into (!!!) so that when the fan turns it flicks drops of water out.... I know, it sounds so safe right?! Everytime I went near that thing as a kid I would get a big shock. I didn't even have to touch it. I'm going off track now...but yeah, shocks like that and tazers...I wonder what would happen. I mean....wouldn't the valve conduct the electricity better? But I'm no Doctor lol. And it's good to know Dick has been okay after numerous shocks!

Ajay, it sounds like a rustic kind of humidifier system....it probably works just fine if nobody touches it.
I would hate to see what a Tazer would do to somebody with a defib or pacemaker....
