Probably an electrical injury.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Strange sensations (numbness, tingling for example ) on the skin is one of the adverse effects of an electrical injury on the body.

So, in my opinion, an electrical discharge from your blender is the most likely cause of your symptoms.

Since there were no other symptoms (for a mild headache you can just take Tylenol and rest for the time being and observe), I think you should not worry much more than necessary.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Medical evaluation just to assure you.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

Since your symptoms still persist and you seem worried, instead of going to the ER, you could see your primary care Doctor and discuss with him about your concerns.

I personally still think that your condition will improve with time.

Hope I helped you.

Kind regards.
