240V isn't SO bad

Was working more in our attic on setting up our solar lights, which are 12V, when, ironically, I hit
myself with 240V. (Our house wiring includes 12V, 110V and 240V) And then I did it again in trying
to clean up the exposed 240V.

Luckily I didn't fall through the ceiling. So it's not so bad but the buzz lasted 20 minutes and I
still have a headache as well as some nice little burns on my leg and finger.

Whoa Kurt, watch out! Matt and I just had a class on burns and you have to remember that the burn isn't just on your finger and your toe, but it goes THROUGH your body somehow on the way from your finger to your toe, (through your kidneys or liver or whatever). Not to scare you or anything, and I'm sure Carla knows all about this sort of thing. But don't be afraid to go to the hospital if anything starts going funny. And drink LOTS of water (to help prevent myoglobinuria - impressed?:)).
We're very glad to hear your alright.
Are you all done with the wiring now?
