Thanks for the friendly warning Uny. It did not require a lot of time to compose but if there is the chance it will help prevent one accident it is time worth spending.
My main caution / concern is bounded by the condition of human nature in the cyber era coupled with Murphy's law. Since the general idea is the benefits from people plugging their body into the correct spot on a properly wired 3-prong outlet, my advice is that this is something that people should not get wrong 100 % of the time... or else. The simple example of human nature that comes to mind is that human nature is such that when people are advised to connect themselves to the round spot, chances are good that somewhere out there is somebody who impulsively reaches for the non round spot... IE> " the other left"....... and if they have trouble plugging into it, before they take the time to double think and double check what they think the advice told them to do, they instead reach for a hammer and begin trying to pound a connection into the non round spot which, for some reason, their brain is telling them is the round spot they need to plug into just like the advice said. I don't know why human nature is quirky like this. I just know it is like this. I talk to people like this every day in my line of work. Likely it has always been like this and predates the cyber era by eons. The kind of cyber example that comes to my mind is sort of patterned after the experience from reading, for instance, the archives in the
Liver Flush Forum . Person 1 - "ooooh, yuk, my body is just too sensitive, I 'm unable to tolerate using an outlet tester, ooooh, it makes me wanna gag, ooooooh.... but I really want to do this earthing thing inside my home without having to actually hazard a trip outside to the back yard, is there a shortcut I can take? " Person 2, who happens to go by the nickname of Cyber McGiver "no probs, you don't need the expensive tester, you can safely connect to any outlet anywhere in the world with the use of some cheap metal paper clips and a little elbow grease. Here is how you do it..................."
"just be careful and be sure of what you are doing" is all I'm saying.
