Feeling the current ....
#6

0.22uF at 60Hz presents 12kOhm impedance which at 120V is 10mA current.
10mA AC is exactly the "let go" threshold.

Some people sometimes think of capacitors as an isolation; it is not. Capacitor same as resistor is a galvanically coupling element.


PS. A human will feel at least 1mA of AC current.
