I read that the hart has a 58 cycles per minute and the 60 cycles of
AC current is so close that is why it is so dangerous for humans. I
understand that 1 amp will kill you but what is  in the AC current
that
will hurt you. Also I understand that a human has 1.5 volts of AC in
there body. How can this be? And EKG print will show a wave that is
like a AC wave form. So do you have AC in our Body?

Yes gezwez, 

You do have AC in your body,

 but it is OK, nothing to worry about.

  The household current is indeed AC and has 60 cycles PER SECOND 
  not per minute.  That's in the U.S. It is 50 per sec, i.e. 50 Hz in Europe.

  That is much faster than the human pulse of 60 to 80 PER MINUTE.

  Finally, at same voltage, it is DC  current which is more dangerous
  than AC. The higher the frequency, the less severe are the effects
  of electrolysis, which one of several mechanisms by which
  electricity causes injury.

   Which is more dangerous, AC or DC, was a public controversy when 
   Edison and Tesla were introducing electric power to NY. You can
read about that here:

or here

   It is not an issue anymore.

  So, do not worry about AC in our bodies, this, like the AC current
  inside a compter is low voltage and doing useful work,
   processing information.

Thanks very much for your prompt answer. The 10 year old female I work
with can drive you nuts with question. Her and I do most of our own
research but some times I get over welmed.  H Hall
