Hi, 
  In answer to your first question, NO!  Never count on the output of a HV 
power transformer to be safe.  Design safety into your system. 
  I have a couple of smaller coils whose outputs 'seem' to be safe enough to 
take hits(to a metal rod in my hand), but it is not a good idea to experiment 
with such.  I did this long before I knew of the exisitance of this list and 
did not know the dangers. 
Apparently nerve damage can occur that may never heal if you try this.
