Electric shock whilst washing up

[atm84]

A colleague of mine has mentioned that they have experienced electric shock symptoms whilst washing up. They say that all the circuits in the kitchen are protected by RCD so assuming they are working ok, it rules out the theory that there is an electrical circuit problem.

Possible earthing problem?? Can anyone provide any information what may be causing it and how it could be fixed. Many thanks

Because irrespective of the electrical truth of the matter, it implied that electricity will 'only hurt you a bit' and that an RCD will save your life. Neither of these is necessarily true and a dangerous thing to state on an open forum where DIY Dave knows no better.

That's not what it says or implies.
