Technically no, it'll always cause the same amount of damage to your body, but it will fry your nerves, making you more immune to the pain of it. Electricians are normally quite used to the pain and side effects.

The answer to this question is yes. The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand.

Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation

1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception

2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction

5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)

Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction

50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation

over 100 paralysis of breathing.
