Looks benign to me.

Just for giggles 1) put 10K resistor across the voltmeter when measuring with neutral on the switch, see if there is still voltage left. 2) same arrangement, measure current between Gnd and chassis. Should be extremely small, in few uA.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM
