If the wire is a live wire with an active current flowing through, and if the voltage is high enough, your body will become a conductor for the electrical current.
In other words, you'll be electrocuted.
If there is a low voltage going through the wire, you may receive a small shock. In this case your brain will force your reflexes to "jump" away from the wire in a split second.
If the voltage is high, you could suffer even more serious electrical shocks which can potentially stop your heart and/or cause serious burns.
If you have heart problems or if there is a history of heart problems in your family/genetics, even a small shock could kill you.
If you are not sure about dealing with electrical wires, your best bet is to call in a registered electrician. In some countries, such as the UK, it's actually illegal to tamper with electric wires in your home unless you have basic qualifications in the field.
If somebody does suffer a major electric shock, do not touch them right away, because the shock could be transferred to you. Firstly, disconnect the electricity from the mains, then check the electrocuted person's pulse and breathing, dampen any electrical fires that might have started on his/her clothing and call the emergency services.

You can get it from touching uninsulated wire?

Why insulated copper wire is used in making solenoid?
If the solenoid wire is not insulated the number of turns will be reduced by the uninsulated wires touching and shorting out the turns.
How does a man get an electric shock?
By touching an uninsulated conductor which is under electrical tension.
Difference between uninsulated and insulated wire?
Uninsulated wire does not have any outer protective covering, making it more susceptible to damage and electrical shock. Insulated wire, on the other hand, is covered with a material like rubber or plastic to protect the wire and prevent contact with electrical currents. This insulation provides safety and helps prevent short circuits.
Can uninsulated wire be used in place of enamel wire?
Depends on what you are using it for:short point to point connection - yes, usually but be careful to avoid shortscoil winding - NO NO NO, the coil will be completely shortedgeneral wiring - NO NO NO, use hookup wire instead as the enamel is too fragile
Why wont birds die on a wire?
Mainly because wires are insulated. In the case of being on an uninsulated wire the bird isn't grounded since both feet are on the wire.
What is a ground wire?
A ground wire is a typically uninsulated copper wire. The intent is to connect the wire to an electrical appliance or fixture to provide electricity a path to ground in the event of a short, thus preventing electrocution.
What is the color of a ground wire?
Answer for USA, Canada and other countries using similar 60Hz household electricity supplies "Ground or "earth" wire has green insulation or is just bare uninsulated copper wire. Answer for Europe and other countries using similar 50Hz household electricity supplies "Earth" or "ground" wire has green/yellow striped insulation or is just bare uninsulated copper wire which should always have a green/yellow striped insulation sleeve put over it when it comes into any terminal boxes or plugs.
Will you get shock if you touch a bare wire connected to an outlet?
If your getting a shock by touching a wall than you have a bare wire touching the wall, call an electrition
What happens if you touch ininsulated wire?
If you touch an uninsulated wire while it is carrying electricity, you can get an electric shock. This can result in burns, muscle spasms, and even death, depending on the voltage of the electricity. It is important to always assume that all wires are live and take proper precautions when working around them.
Why sparking takes place in loose connection?
If two uninsulated wires are close but not quite touching, the voltage may be sufficient to cause an electric current to bridge the gap through the air, thus creating sparks.
