Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sorry to hear of this accident, hope it heals up fast for you. I will file in our files under pain. DC is an anesthetic, which is why I used 18 volts for an hour and got 3rd degree burns on my wrist...never felt a thing! about 2mA was used and it all went into a spot the size of a split pea. It is something to watch out for but at our voltages, we are nowhere near the problem zone. you NEVER need that much current to kill germs anyway. Be gentle with yourself. I still like peas even after the burns, just not burned peas. > > I don't know if any one else has reported this but I am experiencing pain suppression as I write this. Today a spinning drill bit took off the skin and some tissue on the side of my finger. So I put electrodes both on the damaged site and on the opposite side of the finger. Using my DC Electrifier (an adjustable Godzilla with 5mA max output) I turned up the current until it felt uncomfortable and then backed it off till I didn't feel it (around .8mA). Maybe 30 minutes later I turned the unit off and felt instant pain. Curious, I turned the unit on again and the pain went away. Back and forth I went until I was convinced that the current was suppressing the pain. It was a pretty good gouge and usually I experience very little pain with boo-boos initially. Anyway now I know for myself the pain suppressing benefit of direct current and hope others try it for cuts, back pains, arthritis etc and report back here. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
