When I was young I got a good burn on my skin pinching a tiny bit of my finger between wires hooked up to a 6v remote control car battery.

Smelled awful and had a brown patch a few mm wide on my finger for a while.

This happened more or less instantaneously.

When I was a kid, I stuck a 9V battery across my braces (top to bottom teeth). Just about knocked me out.
