This happened 3 days ago. No need to tell me how insanely stupid I am....trust me, I am sooo very aware....
I had a surge protector sitting sort of haphazardly behind my aquarium, had a big tub of water next to my aquarium with some driftwood soaking. I walked by and noticed the surge protector was just casually laying at the bottom of the tub of water. I have absolutely no idea how long it was sitting like that or how it even fell in...I panicked and without even thinking, I dunked my hand right in to grab the cord. STUPID, STUPID!!
ZAAAPP straight up my arm, jolted my entire body and I could hardly even let go of the cord. I'm shocked I'm alive...ba dum tssss. 3 days later and Ive still randomly been getting these nerve shocks up my arm, it hurts..
TL;DR- I’m an absolute moron and shocked myself by dunking my hand into a tub of water to grab a surge protector. 3 days later I still feel random zaps going up my arm. It hurts. That's all. That's the whole story.
