Graham is right, although I wouldn't use the word "typical", but it's 
certainly not unusual and can and does happen on fully approved plugpacks.
I've felt it many times, and it can often feel like a "belt" as Sylvia 
described rather than "tingle", although it's nothing like a full-on line 
contact "belt".
