今回の援農ボランティアでは昼間様々な作業を行ったのですが、最後、夕方になって電気柵の作業を行いました。電気柵は丹精込めて作っている作物をイノシシなどの動物から守るためのものです。収穫の終わっている畑の電気柵はもう必要ないので回収します。電気柵はソーラーパネル式になっていますが、電源をオフにしてからワイヤーをくるくる巻いていきます。1つが終わるとまた別の畑の電気柵を外します。2つ、3つとやって、慣れてきた4つ目あたりでしょうか。ビリッ！とやってしまいました。最初は何が起こったかわからなくてキャー！と叫びました。昼間一日ずっと働いていたので足元がふらふらで、よろけてしまい、隣の畑の、まだ通電中の電気柵に接触したようです。感覚としては冬場の静電気のビリッ！の、ちょっと強いバージョンかなと思います。
This time, I had done a variety of different farming support during the day. Then I had helped to remove electric fences at the end of the day. They protected farm products, which were made with great efforts, from wild boars. Harvested fields no longer need electric fences, so they were to be removed and collected. They worked with solar panels. The power switch turned off at first. Then the wire had been wound. I did the second and third field, then came the fourth one. Suddenly, I happened to feel an electric shock by accident. I didn’t know what happened but screamed. Immediately after that, I noticed that I had touched the live electric fence of the neighboring field. I was walking with unsteady steps as I was working all day. The electric shock was similar to static electricity but a bit stronger.
