i recently ordered a small picnic stove from china which had a piezo element to light it the whole stove was the ground / earth / negative and there is a wire poking out on top which is the live / positive when the button is clicked there is about a 1 cm spark.
i wanted to see what would happen if i tried electrocuting myself so i put one finger of the positive and one on the back of the button (something very easy and normal to accidentally do then just before i pressed the button i realized that this would send any shock straight through my heart so i repositioned my hands so it would send the shock from index finger to middle finger of the same hand.
pressing the button i received quite a powerful shock but if i had sent it through my heart would it have stopped my heart of just a shock and should this be allowed to be sold.
