Should you get shocked touching a spark plug wire?
Yes, you for sure will get a shock as there is from 40,000 to 100,000 Volts DC at the spark plug. Although it is DC voltage and the chances of getting killed are not as great as with AC voltage, it is possible if you were standing in a wet area and were grounded sufficiently. You will for sure feel it and believe me it hurts.
How can you avoid getting electric shock by touching non electric items or people?
Usually this sort of shock is from static electricity. The easy way to avoid getting the shock is to simply not have the electric spark touch your skin. If you have a jacket that makes sparks jump off your skin after taking it off, or anything that like - then just hold some piece of metal, like a screw or a pin, and touch it to a grounded metallic surface like a doorknob or a metal table. You'll probably see a spark jump across, but it you won't feel it, because it's not in contact with any of your nerves. This won't work 100% of the time, but it helps most of the time.
