[Noisebridge-discuss] how much current can you put through skin (comfortably)?

[jim]

   OSHA standards, last i looked, specified 40 VDC as the 
upper limit of safe voltages. if you're using batteries 
(on the order of 3 or 6 or even 12 VDC), you'll be safe. 
   for any one circuit, make sure it's entirely on one 
limb and doesn't travel across your torso. if you have 
items on each arm, for instance, that'll be okay if each 
has its own separate power supply and there's no 
connection between them.
