Static electricity in your body

I have always experienced electricity at my fingertips. Not like all the time. Just sometimes like after I sit for a long time in a plastic chair or something like that. And then when I touch somebody even with my fingertip, we both would feel the jolt of current. It wasn't there from past many months. Even though I sat in a plastic chair every now and then.
But from yesterday, I have so so much electricity that I can't even pick a steel utensil without feeling the jolt. And the biggest recipient of all the electricity is my husband. Everytime I touch him even a little on the shoulder or arm to get his attention, he gets the sudden unexpected jolt. Now he is scared of me. Hehe. I can't even touch my sister in law's baby without giving him the electric shock.
The only thing I'm doing differently from yesterday is that I started using my sunscreen. I have been neglecting to use it from the last few months so I thought let me utilise it before it expires. I don't know if there is any connection with the ingredients in the sunscreen to this extra static electricity in my body but I'm definitely feeling it more now.

I used to get that a lot when I was working in server rooms. I second the @LadyDuck's advice.

@healerWitch This often happens in places with synthetic carpeting. I use a humidifier in the room where we have the computers.

When my daughter and I go shopping, I push the metal shopping cart. When my daughter goes to put stuff in the cart, it always shocks her. She says I'm doing something to make it shock her. 
If I knew why it shocks her all the time, I'd do it at home, too!
