A 28-year-old woman from Chatswood, Sydney suffered minor iPhone electric shock and was given medical aid at Royal North Shore Hospital. The woman was already in stable condition according to a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman.

According to a report from News.com.au, it was not clear whether the woman was using her phone while she was charging like in the case of the Chinese woman who died because of iPhone electric shock.

The spokeswoman from NSW Ambulance warned iPhone users that there had been considerable accidents from iPhone shocks in the past days. In fact, the Sydney woman was the fifth to be reported to experience such incident. She warned iPhone users to always keep an eye on their connections.

Inspector John Brotherhood who responded to the Sydney woman's call gave advice on how to detect electric shock.

Mr Brotherhood said, "Basically, if the jolt moves you, if it takes your breath away or if it's at all a cause for concern, you need to get it checked out. You only need one-thousand of a milliamp to interfere with the electrical activity of your heart, which is not much at all."

The NSW Ambulance also told the Sydney Morning Herald that there had been cases of electric shock through home appliances and not on mobile phones alone.

There had been four cases in Sydney where patients called because their fingers were cut off in their kitchen blenders. One patient said his finger was just stuck in the blades while one patient had her finger severely cut by the blender's blade.

There were eight cases of people who suffered burned and electric shock while using hair irons, while an isolated case called for help because her hairspray exploded.

Another patient suffered another electric shock while hanging fairy lights.

A woman from Narooma, south coast of NSW suffered electric shock while using her dishwater. Later, she found out that a mouse had chewed through the electrical cord and that makes the appliance vulnerable to electricity.

There were also cases of electric shocks gotten from computer keyboards or gaming consoles, even light switches.

Mr Brotherhood warned people that they can experience electric shock when they touch connections with wet hands, "The build-up of dust is another concern because it causes electricity to arc, especially on power points."
