No 110 volts wont kill you...but 0.1 amps CAN! And in that outlet, there is 15 AMPS! DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH THAT SHIT!!! I just replaced an outlet like a week ago for my mom, All you have to do to make sure you dont get fried is TURN OFF THE BREAKER/PULL OUT THE FUSE(if you have fuses) and since that disconnects tha circuit from the power you cant get electricuited. I know alot about electricity, I was actually gonna make one of those but then I got caught and found out my mom doesnt care...so i just lay my shit out in plain sight now
