      Commercial electric fence chargers apply a pulse every half-second
or so, specifically so that if a human or animal gets in contact with
the fence, they don't get muscle-locked to it.

      Some of the higher-powered fence chargers are powerful enough to burn
off weeds contacting the fence.  This is considered a feature.
