I weld outside and since the sun dosen't shine 365 days a year in Ohio some days are in the rain or snow. I get shocked alot, so much i now take heart meds because my heart has an electrical short in it and i kept failing my physical at work so wonder how my heart got screwed up? Anyway i lay the rods on a board now when changing them out because everything on me is always wet. And my mig welder in the hot summertime always bites me also when it is humid out...Bob
