Exactly, unless you’re especially well grounded 110V usually only zings a bit and might leave your arm a bit sore. You just need to be sure you aren’t well grounded. If you happen to be touching a good ground with your other hand when you touch 110V though then you’re in for a bad time. That’s why you always use the one hand rule inside a live electrical compartment.
But going phase to phase on 240V is where you actually start getting launched across the room (saw my boss do that one). And touching a live hi pot tester lead (1kV+) feels appropriately like getting tazed.
people think I’m crazy when I say 110 aint bad but it really isn’t (usually). And I haven’t even had the displeasure of meeting any higher voltages
