RE: HFAC safety

As a longtime employee of an electric utility I was taught that 40mA of 60Hz current can be lethal.
As it happened, I suffered an electric shock from an open-circuit 60Hz current transformer passing 0.7A, where I was unable to let go and lost consciousness relatively quickly. I came to lying on the floor covered with blood, and learned that a couple of coworkers had pulled me free using a "shepherd's hook".
It took 3 years for my physical and brain injuries to plateau and I never managed to get back to work.
If you make contact with an electric circuit of lethal magnitude via your bloodstream it is a much more serious scenario.
