Have you touched the fence, or assume it's like a static shock?
My fencer zaps like touching the sparkplug on a mower or chain saw.

From time to time I touch it by accident. You are right, it is a bit more
than a static shock, because that lasts for a tiny fraction of a second, while
the fence is a sustained current. It still is not enough to do any harm, but
I'm not sure if it could effect a pacemaker. I don't think any of the kids or
deer for that matter have one. :-)
