Static electricity is an interesting thing. I knew how it happened but I thought it was interesting to see how to help eliminate it.
Static Elimination Tips
1) Increase the humidity in your house and workplace. Air is much drier in the winter, which increases the frequency and severity of shocks. Use a humidifier.
2) Change clothes - switch to natural fibers, since synthetics pick up more of a static charge.
3) Change shoes - there are special conductive shoes in a variety of styles. They are made for people working in the electronics industry. You will need to find a store or catalogue that sells or can order them for you. (Search online for "esd shoes")
4) If your skin is very dry - try an anti-static hand lotion (also available for the electronics industry.)
