> No one is advocating intentionally sticking electrical probes into your body. So, again, it doesn't show that a 9 volt battery used in the way described by the article is dangerous. You're asking the wrong question. If you don't want to be a dumbass, the question that should be asked isn't "has this been shown (to me) to be dangerous?" Answering no then proceeding is a good way to harm yourself out of ignorance. The right questions are along the lines of "has this been shown to be safe?", "if not, do I have actually have a full enough understanding to find out?", and "if I die doing this, am I in the running for a Darwin award?"
