I got electrocuted when I was 6 years old....

ew... it must have been so painful, what a pity since yoy were so young to have experience such... but to me, getting by 45 volts is normal since i worked at a tlephone company... i can really feel those 45 volts in me during i get to do some installation or switch related trouble shooting... i know its not healthy but that is what i do for a living after all...

Thank God you survived it! With that type of shock, I'm amazed they didn't have to rush you to the emergency room. I'm not at all surprised that you have a scar. And, I don't know if there are any long term effects or not. You seem to communicate alright. There is a differentiation in the way you write English because of your native language, I assume, but that's not a big deal unless you are writing something more formal and you can get help with that. Since all I know of you is here on myLot, I only know that you seem to be just fine to me.

That must have been so horrible at such a young age. I don't know if there would be long term effects unless it caused nerve damage. What kind of long term effects are you worried about?

I electricuted myself when I was 15 I was cleaning my little fan heater in my bedroom, and forgot to unplug it and thought I had already done so and conitued to pull it apart and clean it the inide fell out into my hand and and I pushed it back in and nothing happend and then it came out again but this time it lit up and electricuted me It pushed me back and I shook and screamed at the top of my voice MUM she came running in as I managed to throw it off me... She rushed me to the Doctors as I had severe burns and in shock... My dad was in the Lounge room and asked what was wrong but we lied and told him it was a spider and left pretending to go to the shop because we knew how he would react to the truth... I was lucky that I wasn't wearing my rings that I usually wore as they were many and large ones that wraped aroung my fingers.... I still have the scares from it and had many flashes after the experience and since than had being near electric devices that could do harm, Toasters and hair dryers ect, they creep me out..... I think it's going to happen again..... When it happened I even saw my self being electricuted it felt as though I was floating above my body watching, until I managed to throw it off, oh and the smoke, It's made me sick and scared reliving the experience....

well frankly who wasn't hehe most percentage of babies or little kids experience a minor electrecution maybe, perhaps its their curiousity that triggers them to eat touch whatever they see but not unless if they were told not to do so maybe.

i had the same experience too, the only difference is that, i don't know what went in my head.. what i did was, i sitting on the stairs and i was wondering if the electric plug has power or none, so what i did was, i got two nails and struck it to the plug and it was too late to realize how stupid i am and i was electrocuted, i never did it again!

I got shocked reading your experience.Pun not intended.When I was about 10 years old my mum took me to one of our family friends' shop of electrical appliances.There was a gramophone playing and as the song was over the arm with the needle gently moved back to the position.I got so curios to know what made that plate sing and began probing under the arm where the needle is.I got a pinprick plus shock and a bang from my mum on my back.Since that day I am very very careful before placing my finger anywhere.ha ha.

I have never been electrocuted before and hope that it never happens. I am sure it had to hurt and you are fortunate to still be alive. I have heard of others getting electrocuted and it seems like they came out of it okay and have had no long last effects. I am sure that you will be fine and have nothing to worry about. Just be careful during storms.

it must have been a traumatic experience as a child!! i remember, getting electrocuted once while i was ironing. but then, that was not severe and i recovered soon.

yewah i agreed with it is indeed a terrifying experience..and it is expected that what happened then will still in your mind and it will never erase since there is a scar on it..maybe fear, is one of the long term effect on it..i dont know on physical effects...

Oh I just cringed reading your story, that was terrible indeed. I wonder why the breaker didn't blow from that? Anyway, no there is not long term effect besides a scar that I know of. I think once it's over, then it's over.

I am so sorry for the electrocution that you experienced at a young age. It is so scary and the feeling is for sure too terrible to experience. I hope that there is no side effect.

hahah cool storu u have........just joke.ok
