Do the calculation again but with the other hand on the

2 megaohms in series with less than an ohm = 2 megaohms

Still 115 microamperes.


Then stick your hands into a live AC power line, after making sure
your will is up to date, and your insurance is paid up. You know just
enough to be dangerous. The resistance also depends on contact area,
and what part of the body. Loose the attitude, or someone will find you
dead from your ignorance.
