When the 24V DC interact with the nerves on the skin and further into the body it causes a sensation that most people find uncomfortable for the nerves are being stimulated in a foreign way to its normal use and to a lesser degree other parts of the body.
The wet skin has a effect of lowering the resistance of the skin and allowing it to conduct electricity better.
Nerves are conductors of electricity but at low voltages and current, other parts of the body have a higher resistance then nerves and all nerves in the body are connected to the brain.
The brain uses small DC and Volts to direct the muscles to expand and contract, so when the electricity going through is more then normal the cells in the body heat up and may burn.

if you touch a live circuit that could result in electrocution.
