Why does a bare electricity wire with current flowing though it give an electric shock and what happens if the body wet?

Electric current flows on the outside of the wire, not inside the wire. An insulated wire covers that surface where the current is flowing so that you are not touching the wire which actually carries the charge. The body has a pretty large eletrical resistance. If wet, the salts from sweating, form a more conductive surface.
