electric shocks
Voltage through body
Electric shocks are the sudden, painful sensations caused when electrical current passes through the body.
The severity ranges from the mild jolt of static discharge to potentially fatal contact with high-voltage sources.
Figuratively, something that comes as an electric shock arrives with jarring suddenness: The news of his resignation was an electric shock to the staff.
