The formula for amperage is Amps = Voltage / Resistance.
As the voltage become higher so does the current that can flow through your body if you short across an electric potential.
Remember that 1 amp is equal to 1000 mA.
The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps, Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps, Muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps, Painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps, Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps, Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 milliamps, Paralysis of breathing resulting in death.
