AhA, yes, really it was not an attack. I'm just trying to make a point that
numbers on this really don't exist, and because of that there is no real
"anything past X units is dangerous at Y Hz, but one below that is OK". You
obviously know more about what does and does not burn you and make strange
aches and pains afterwards than myself of many others.

Of course. I still no reason to fear a wimpy coil like it's it's a downed
powerline in the alley. People here like to share only the large, scary
stories about accidents gone wrong to the max.

You can burn your finger tips on some large plasma balls if you don't press
on them hard enough. It hardly makes them devices to hide from in fear.
