I don't know if this is good or bad but I have noticed that I am
EXTREMELY sensitive to current. For example at work we have an electric
rod oven to heat connecting rods. If I grab it with both hands I feel a
noticeable shock yet almost every other person that tries it does not.
So far out of like 6 of us,the lone exception was the sales rep for the
oven who can also feel it but it is not uncomfortable to him. It is to
me however and he replaced it. What would explain this?

    I have noticed this too. I (160 lb.) am not a very large, or pain 
tolerant, person, and while replacing several broken switches; I must
have 
gotten literally 50 shocks from 120 vac. It hurt, but it really didn't
bother 
me too much. But my dad on the other hand (250+ lb. 6' 2" EXTREMELY high
pain 
tolerance) has gotten hit with the same voltage, and has CRIED from
pain. I 
know he got hit harder although it was the same voltage, I would
definitely 
agree that different people have different resistance's.
