    I’d bet you’d feel as much current as licking a 9volt. The nose is a mucus membrane, so not very resistant to electricity

      Yes but the nose ring is metal. So you’d short the battery using it, allowing as much current as a 9v could muster across the ring. Depending on how thick the ring, it would heat up, and potentially cause burning. But no electric shock.

        Though I wonder how much punch those things have. It’s 9v but I wouldn’t be surprised if that voltage drops quite a bit if offered little resistance.
