Is there a way to test the total impedance of my body?

AI Thread Summary
To test the total impedance of the body, users can utilize an ohmmeter by holding its leads in each hand, although maintaining dry hands is crucial for accurate readings. There is curiosity about how individual results would compare to established charts on electric shock pathophysiology. Recommendations include purchasing specific testing devices to facilitate this measurement. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding body impedance in relation to electric shock risks. Overall, measuring body impedance can provide insights into personal safety regarding electrical exposure.
