During the [[total event collapse]] created by the explosion of the TARDIS, the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s sonic screwdriver sparked when touched to a later version of itself. The Doctor took this discharge of temporal energy as a confirmation that it was the same screwdriver, although he didn't name the effect. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') A similar discharge was discussed by earlier incarnations of the Doctor who met.

The [[Eighth Doctor]] was [[electrocute]]d by the energy discharge produced by the collision of the two versions of a [[Blitzen fish]] hauting his TARDIS. He had hoped that the present and future versions of the fish would cancel each other out due to the Blinovitch effect.

[[Romana II]] was particularly concerned about the potential effects of physically touching another incarnation of herself, and as such declined her future self [[Trey]]'s requests for a hug when the two first met on [[Gallifrey]], and later she refused to allow Trey to help her seal off the [[Eye of Harmony]] for similar reasons.

In a majority of occasions when two individuals were in close proximity or touching, there was no energy discharge or energy field. In some cases, Time Lord or other temporal technology was available to dampen the effect, but even so previous incarnations were shown to have temporarily aged as a result of the time differential. | |||

The Doctor physically interacted with different [[regeneration|incarnations]] of himself or with another version of the same incarnation (such as shaking hands) without the proximity or interaction triggering a Limitation Field or energy discharge.

He touched and was touched by a future version of himself.

[[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] once speculated that the [[Fifth Doctor]] was unaffected by the Limitation Effect when he met his previous incarnations in the [[Tower of Rassilon]] on [[Gallifrey]] due to them having different bodies.

Even some [[human]]s did not trigger the effect. [[Rose Tyler]] created a temporal paradox by saving her father, [[Pete Tyler]], from death. The Ninth Doctor had allowed Rose to make a second attempt to comfort her father while he died, and they hid from their earlier selves. Rose rushed out passing within several feet of herself from an earlier time, and their earlier selves disappeared. Later, when Rose was standing near herself as a baby, and later still, when Pete thrust Rose, the baby (well bundled), to adult Rose, to hold, this did not produce an energy discharge, but produced enough of a [[temporal paradox]] to allow a [[reaper]] to enter the church in which they were sheltering.

During an anomaly intentionally created by the [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to annoy [[Clara Oswald]], two versions of a time-looped Clara stated they were forced to share a bed together. Again, no negative effects were indicated. During the same incident, two versions of Clara brush past each other.
