Knowing that you need 2000V or so before you feel it illustraits why its important to take ESD precautions with sensitive parts, very recently at work we had an LDMOS device that would be destroyed with about 30V which means moving your hand in the air near it would cook it, hence why the use of wriststraps, smocks and ionizers is key, most electronics are not this sensitive however.
