Static Electricity

Well at least in my house I have solved the problem by getting a humidifier on my furnace. I have three cats and they used to be giant static balls. Now with the humidifier it's not a problem anymore. It actually makes the air feel warmer so you can turn you heat down.

no idea on how to stop it at work, but at home my poor dogs were suffering every time one of us touched them, so i put a pot of water on the stove and let it boil and keep refilling it a couple of times and the static stops.

try adding more moister to the air in your house or apartment to solve this problem. you won't get shocked like you use to with more moister in the air. if you get it from your vehicle you could add a ground strap to cure this. do you only get the headaches in the house if so how are you heating if its wood or oil could be from carbon monoxide low amounts of air in the house.

I agree with you absolutely i have a serious problem with the static electricity due to that i usually wear cloth with a lot of static electricity and then i receive a lot electricity from that cloth, have a nice day on mylot and happy earnings also.

Maybe you're on your computer too much? Take aspirin when you get a headache.. or take breaks away from your computer. I only get static from clothes lol... Ask your doctor..

By wearing clothes which are not good conductors of electricity like cotton clothes Probably you will have to change all that which causes so

I get that too ,sometimes when I open the car door I jump , When I hold onto a shopping trolley too , when I had my dog and had nylon carpets the poor dog used to get a shock of me , Maybe we are just hot stuff lol xx

Every time I get out of my car in the winter, ZAP! when I touch the car door to close it. Since it's not as bad & startling with gloves on, I make sure never touch the car door when I get out of my car without my gloves on my hands. The most memorable situation was when I handed someone a cup of coffee ... ZAP! with a nice spark. The coffee cup ended up on the floor in pieces, & coffee all over the carpet. Also, year round, there is static electricity on the glass of your computer screen, particularly the bulky ones. I'm not sure about those LCD screens. You can hear it ticking, particularly in the winter months when you turn it off.

I my self not tormented with static electricity,in my office i usually use wrist strap to prevent the electro static Electro static can damage the computer Whenever the casing of a computer is opened and its internal workings are exposed (to change a hard drive or add memory chips, for example), there is a danger of damaging the computer with the buildup of static electricity that is held by the human body. The internal workings of a computer, and especially the hard drive, are extremely susceptible to static electricity, which can cause considerable damage to the hard drive if it is zapped with even a small amount. Microchip damage can occur if it is exposed to static electricity as low as 10 volts, and humans are not able to perceive static electricity until it has reached about 1,500 volts. (Walking across a rug can produce a static electricity voltage of up to 12,000 volts, but static voltage is not life threatening.) So it is possible to damage a hard drive with static electricity that is not even felt by the person because it is at such a low voltage. Also, computers become increasingly susceptible to static electricity damage as more and more circuitry is built into them. Static electricity is caused by a process called triboelectrification. Everything around us, and including us, is made of atoms, and every atom has in its center (nucleus) positively charged protons and neutrons, which have no electrical charge. Surrounding the atom are negatively charged electrons. The protons and neutrons in an atom do not change, but the electrons can move from one atom to another. When two objects touch, they exchange electrons, which causes one object to become electrically positive and the other to become electrically negative. When an object touches another object with either an opposite or neutral charge, electrons flow. Static electricity is created when electrons move back and forth between atoms. To avoid zapping your components with static electricity, take precautions to ground the static electricity before touching any of the internal components of the computer. Wearing an ESD wrist strap or working on an anti-static mat will prevent any static electricity from damaging your computer. Another way to ground the static electricity is to touch the internal metal frame of the computer's case while the computer is plugged into an electrical socket. The static electricity will be discharged and grounded as the electrical circuit is grounded via the AC outlet. And to be on the safe side, always handle the electronic circuitry on the motherboard, video card, modem, sound card, hard drive and other internal components by any insulated, non-circuitry areas if they have them to insure that you do not send a bolt of static electricity coursing through it. detail information you can visit in this site http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Computer_Science/2002/static.asp

Oh yes I hate static electricity, it makes me mad. I do not know why this happens but I think that it is caused from too much electricity in our bodies at the time, I know it can be from watching too much electricity and dealing with these things with electricity in them.

Indeed i do. I never really got it before i met my wife. Since i dated her when we got out it's quite powerful/painful when it shocks me. i swear it's because of her hair and the type of clothes she wears. Ooo. i hate it and i'm not joking. sometimes when i touch shelfs in stores i get shocked but it's nothing compared to when my wife hands my hand and buzz. Kudos ~Joey

This time of year drives me crazy! I touch anything, including the garage door. and I get shocked. I have found that knocking on the object first helps to avoid the electric shock.

Whenever you say static electricity, I always think about the risk it causes for electronic objects since a little of the static shock can almost certainly destroy circuit boards. You just have to live with it, that's all. Try destaticizing yourself once in a while to prevent static shock. This can be done by touching metal objects to allow the electrons to flow from your body to the metal
