Unlike many common beliefs, voltage is not the main cause of death. Rather, current is. A person would be alright using a current of 0.001A but will die if current strength is more than 0.07A. However, the high voltage myth is used so commonly because the voltage itself is more well known than the current(as used in the "electric power"). And as high voltage also implies high current, this leads to the confusion.
I.e. 0.07A can kill a person

it doesn't matter how many volts pass through your body, its the amps as little as 0.1 amps can kill a human

Depends on the voltage, but yes. If the current runs through the heart muscle it can kill you.
Would 2.5 million volts be able to kill a person?
If the amperage is high enough, yes.
How many volts of electricity is needed to kill a mouse?
It is not the voltage it is the amperage that kills.
How many volts of electricity would it take to kill a cat?
Voltage doesn't actually kill, it is the amperage that kills.
Is 1700 volts enough to kill someone?
Possibly, but it depends on the amperage available. Even 110 volts can kill with enough amps.
How strong is 1000 volts?
Very strong.Figure this,if a 120 volts can kill a human being then what would 650,000 do.Id say roughly this many volts could kill about 650 elephants.Does that tell you enough to stay away from it?
