A historical report notes currents as low as 110 volts can kill when hands or bodies are wet. Cases cited by Dr. Zimmere include a woman killed holding an electric light with one wet hand while turning a faucet, another killed wiping a wet surface of a heater circuit, and a man shocked by a chandelier while holding a wet light.
