Through your hands, no. Through othe parts of your body, maybe.
I've been zapped by mains current once (240V, SA standard). I was trying to
remove the network cable from a server (10-base-2, coax), and as I turned it
to unplug it, my wrist brushed against the power cable, which was missing
insulation right at that point.
Next thing I was sitting with my back to the wall of the server cupboard
(1/2 a metre from the server)
I'd been resting elbows on the floor of the cupboard, so the current only
flowed wrist to elbow, but I couldn't write or type properly for a short
while afterwards.
