Why am i prone to static? when i get out of the car, turn the door k**b, flick the light switch, etc?

Question

Can anyone tell me why this happens to me more than other people i know? And if there are ways to decrease the incidence.

Answer 1

Raise the humidity in your home.Static electricity thrives in dry environments.

Answer 2

try wearing different fabrics and drinking more water :)

Answer 3

Do you use body lotion?  Try to use it, a lot on your entire body.  Drink lots of water would help too.  People who have dry skin tend to get this more than others.

Answer 4

Don't shuffle your feet and generate static.  Likewise be careful with arm movements.  Ground yourself often on sources to remove the electic potential from yourself before the static builds up enough.
