I test 9V batteries this way all the time (probably a few thousand in my
lifetime so far). I am sure it would have to be 9v under the skin on both
sides of yur brain, with fairly good sized plates to allow enough current to
flow to disrupt your brain.
It is dangerous to have wet or damp hands if you happen to touch 120v or 240v
conductors; but if the current does not flow through your chest (screws up
your heart/pacemaker), or through your brain (ouch), it's unlikely to kill
you. I remembered two more things from early adulthood: touched a 10,000v @
.02a secondary (oil furnace ignition transformer) the hammer in my hand went
through the wall behind me from my arm jerking backwards. luckily it didn't go
through my face, and no one was behind me. I also had my glasses touch a light
tree (roadie for a rock band) that had a defective plug that made the entire
light tree 120v, I was also touching a grounded audio cord, and I was
sweating. I saw a big white flash and ended up flat on my back. either of
these could have killed me if the current path had been through my chest, and
not arm to knee, or head/shoulder to hand. I am really careful these days!
