A current flowing through you of more than 5 ma is considered dangerous. Why do we see warnings about high voltage, rather than high current

Current can be reduced using numerous methods like longer transmission wires, resistors, fuses (anything that breaks current or slows it down) voltage is fixed. Also keep in mind voltage is what drives the current. Meaning no high voltage, no high current

Hope this helps
