Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Always use dry hands when handling cords or plugs. Pull on the plug, not the cord, to disconnect it from the outlet. If the cord is wet or you are standing in water, remove the cord from the water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sweat, being rich in salt and minerals, is an excellent conductor of electricity for being a liquid. So is blood with its similarly high content of conductive chemicals. Thus, contact with a wire made by a sweaty hand or open wound will offer much less resistance to current than contact made by clean, dry skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Touching electrical appliances with wet hands is dangerous because water is a good conductor of electricity and one might get an electric shock.
