I was installing a wall outlet and i accidently grabbed the 'hot wire' near my thumb n felt a second or two of electricity hit my thumb and now i get a white mark where i touched the side of the outlet. am i gonna b ok?
if you are not dead yet consequently chances are you are fine... yeah it will be fine
Be happy your fine treat it like burn run it over surrounded by cold water and wrap a towel or paper towel over it and if your still not sure stir see a doctor but you can also put any kind of ointment on it and put a band-aid on that's what i did when i be a kid but your in no sort of danger or anything! it's purely a burn you got a pretty good jerk,i am surprised it burned you though did you short it when it touched ,throw fire? and why are you working on a hot line anyway,your bad progress spank yourself,you will be ok..tom
Answers: If you can still type, I would own thought so.
you get an electrical burn, run it over some water and wrap it up. you will be fine just study it for infection you should be fine, I did that more than once.
But dont sneez, a bolt of lightning may come out. (My brothers scared me with that when I be young)
you will be fine, just treat the injury like a burn, and preserve it clean. if you do any more work on electricity TURN THE POWER OFF! you can be killed by touching "live" wires. You should be fine, though the flaw may not leave (I still have some burn results on my hands from touching hot pans and such).
