I'm going to make **broken link removed**, and I've got the negative ion generator and I'm just using it to shock myself right now since I don't have a dremel or a spare pair of shoes. The shock kind of hurts (like strong static electricity) and will jump about 3/4 of a centimeter. What I want to know is, will using this consistently have any permanent damage? If I keep my finger about 1/2 a centimeter away from the thing while powered on, it does the static shock thing about once a second, and if I actually touch and hold onto something metal while it's charged up my muscles start feeling weird, like they're asleep (as in, it feels like when you sleep with your arm under you and when you wake up you can't feel the arm for a few minutes). I feel fine right now, but will constantly shocking myself with this thing (I think it's a few thousand volts at very very very low amperage) have any permanent effect on my body?
