Static electric shocks?

Question

Hi,

For some reason i am the only one in my office that gets static electric shocks off anything i touch that is metal , and to be frank it is really starting to lets say get to me.

Initally i believed i was slowly evolving into some superhuman electric controlling super-being that eventually would be able to yield the powers of electricity from anywhere around him and destroy any mere mortals that got in my way , but it seems my only power at the moment is to get d**n electric shocks off things and there is nothing super about that.

can anyone help me? i seem to wear the same as everyone else but no one gets this shock apart from me. hence the super-being evolution theory i started out with.(thanks heroes)

can different people be more suseptable to these charges or is it something else?

any help would be appreciated...also any help on how to develop these powers to...

thanks,

Answer 1

Yes it can be very bad when the humidity is low. One thing that will stop the heart is to have a piece of metal in your hand ,and hold on firmly and touch the metal parts. U may hear it spark but it will not hurt.

    Something else if u can find it is a spray that u did spray on plastic records. It stopped the static attraction, now spray that on your chair and allow to dry.

Answer 2

Human beings naturally develop static charge because we are the one who doesn't get earthed because of wearing foot wear. All animals get naturally get earthed due to bare foot. We use Non conductive material like rubber, plastic or leather foot wear which allow us develop static charge. The blankets which is made up of synthetic material will show sparks which is seen at night times when scratched. It is due to the static charge we develop due to positive charge in the body. Walking/standing with bare foot, touching the wall with both the bare hands will naturally discharge the static charge. If you touch a hard disk of the computer without discharging you may damage the hard disk permanently. They are made with  anti-static cover for their protection.
