    How much voltage can my tongue take ?
    I'm curious of how much voltage I can apply to my tongue without making serious damage
    I've seen guys putting a brand new 9v batt and it seems to give quite a jolt already.
    We all know that 220v can be life threatening but your tongue being wet will offer a smaller resistance.
    How far can I go ? 12v ? 18v ?

    Why do you want to put voltage to your tongue? No voltage is the right voltage

    It's not the voltage, but the amperage that does the damage.
    I have had over 200,000 volts pass through me with virtually zero amps, no damage..
