From someone who has lost count of the CRT HV bites he's gotten.... It's basically the same as the meanest static jolt you get from shuffling on carpet and grabbing a doorknob.... Infact carpet can be higher voltage and is about the same amount of charge as the cap in a CRT stores...
If you want to barbecue yourself get a fully vacuum tube set and grab the plate cap of the horizontal output tube while running...The RF burn you get will remove skin and add char...Ask me how I know.
