Hi Matthew, Jon, Wayne,

Any type treatment with possible risk should be done in the presence and
with the aid of a second individual who can administer
CPR and/or call 911--otherwise, it might bring on unintentional suicide or
accidental death!

Please exercise due caution! Remember the first rule of First Aid and Home
Remedies--"DO NO HARM!"

Best Wishes,
 Richard Harris, 56 yr FL Pharmacist

  G'Morning, Jon and Wayne,

  Wayne is correct in that I was
  contemplating a variety of possible
  situations. The presence of an
  assistant would help prevent too
  many hands and legs of one person
  getting involved. An assistant could
  also apply CPR in case of an
  accidental ventricular fibrillation.
  Don't depend on just the plastic
  handle's insulation.Maxwell's equations
  predict surface currents can flow
  on dielectric interfaces. Also, the
  stun gun generates higher voltages
  than some Wimhurst machines and
  even Van de Graff generators. Both
  exhibit arcing across air gaps.

  Best wishes,

  Matthew
