Facts
700 + people die in the U.S. each year in residential electrical fires ("Electric safety," 2011)
There are approximately 550 electrocution deaths nationwide ("Electric safety," 2011)
The minimal current a person feels is about 1 milliampere (mA). (Electric Shock, 2010)
Can be lethal if currents are100 mA . (2010)
Lethality is dependent on (2010):
Current
Duration
Pathway
Frequency
Because current interferes with nervous control, repeated or severe electrical shocks can cause long term damage to the peripheral nervous system. (2010)
