The Voltage Is not deadly itself. Its how much current is flowing with it.
7 millliamps can kill you. Yes, that's milli, as in 1 thousanth of an amp. IF it toches your heart which is very unlikely. your skin acts as a resistor to resist that extra current.
Now you might be thinking, static electricity probably outputs way more then that every day, so how come were not all dead? This is because this amperage must be applied directly to the heart. Our whole body works as an insulator to electricity, weakening and most likely stopping the electricity before it gets to our heart (hopefully).
lightning bolts, carry around 1 billion volts. However, air dissapates 10000 volts of electrivity per centimetre. This mean for electricity to even get to your from 10 centimetres away through air, it requires 10000 volts. Lightning also needs to get past our clothes, which is probably wet in the event of a thunderstorm, spreading the electricity across the surface of the body, losing more energy. This is the main way lightning stroken people survive.
But still. If 7 milliamps touches your skin, youll be fine. LEDs work at 25-50milliamps. A house electrical main can kill .Now that can kill instantly

What amount of voltage is supplied by an ordinary cell?
What amount of voltage is supplied by an ordinry cell?
What determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
what determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
Why use7085 ic in voltage regulator?
It will be 7805 in which 7 is company code; 8 means positive voltage & 05 is amount of positive voltage output.
What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
Bulk resistance in diode?
the amount of voltage applied to the diode
How much voltage does it take to wash your hands in a sink?
Electricity? Plus water? Deadly. Is this really the question you wanted to ask?
What amount of voltage is supplied by an ordinary cell?
What amount of voltage is supplied by an ordinry cell?
How do you bypass an electric fence?
Go around it. Low voltage fences may be damaged by crossing, and high voltage can be deadly.
Is the leukemia disease as deadly as it was when sadako had it?
I think leukemia is deadly if you are exposed to a huge amount of radiation.
What controls the amount of voltage to the CPU?
A voltage regulator module (VMR)
How much signal voltage should be measured at the bypassed source of a common source amplifier?
the same amount as the drain
What is the applied voltage to a resistive capacitive circuit?
this is the amount of voltage a circuit can hold.
Does a 1999 firebird trans am have a voltage regulator?
it does but the ecm controls the amount of voltage.
What determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
what determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
How much wind is needed to produce 12volt dc?
It's not the amount of wind, but the design of the generator, that decides what voltage is produced. The amount of wind will determine the power produced.
How much voltage is produced by your voice?
Voltage is potential measured by amount of charge or free electrons available to do work. Your voice can generate a pressure wave that can move a diaphragm in a microphone and produce a small voltage which can then be amplified. The type of transducer will determine the voltage which is typically in the millivolt range.
