So do I, once we were doing a drama production with 10 radio mics, and I had
guys backstage checking them for me, and they left it to one guy to test the
batteries (standard 9v). After his tongue got too sore, he switched to
using his gums, you shoulda seen the ulcers! It was very funny and this was
the kinda guy who liked showing off his pain.

Actually I'm pretty sure that it depends on the current as well as the
voltage as to the danger of this, I don't know if its enough but car
batteries are pretty high curren,t for 12V anyhow.
