I Did Somthing Stupid Again.
Yeah, I like to order stuff in the mail, like those gas masks, so I got this tesla coil for only, like 50 dollars (others are REALLY expensive.)
My brother and I were messing around with it, and we got out this long flourescent lightbulb and held it by the coil. Electricity arced from the coil to the bulb and lit the bulb. My brother was taking his turn holding the bulb and he was taking forever, so I asked for a turn. He refused, so I grabbed the bulb and it shocked us both.
We dropped the bulb.
Now, our hands smell burnt and we can't feel our fingers.
Uuuh, should I be worried?
EDIT: I'm okay now, please stop asking. I asked my dad and I'm fine.

Lol. It's like they're asleep. Not like they're totally paralyzed. Sorry, didn't clarify that.

ZAP! Yeah, but I don't think it'd shock me... I'm not totally sure how all this stuff works but I doubt that'd happen.

Yeah, maybe, but I told my dad and my hand doesn't smell burnt anymore. It was weird cause it didn't feel like I was being burned. It felt strange, in a painful kind of way.

Re: I Did Somthing Stupid Again.
Yes, you should be worried. Get offline, go tell your parent/guardian about what happened, and get to a doctor before things get worse.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

I did. I told my dad and we looked some stuff online. I'm fine now. You can close this if you want. Sorry to have caused such a problem.

Doesn't electrocuted imply that you die?
