My Mom is having some problems. She called me today and says that she can't get rid of this static. Every time she touches anything metal it shocks her. Last week she answered the phone and shorted out the phone, so they had to buy a new one. Now every time that she is shocked or shocks something - she says it is really hurting her. She is using dryer sheets to pick up the phone, but says it is shocking her through the sheet. She has sprayed anti-static spray all over the carpet, furniture, hair, and clothes. This is not helping either. The shocks have began to leave red marks on her fingers, or any part of her body she touches to metal. My suggestion was to put olive oil on to create a "barrier" for her hands at least. This did not work. I am out of ideas and need some advice. She is 52 years old, and has really dry skin/hair. If anyone has ideas on how to stop this I would really appreciate it. It seems to be causing quite a bit of pain for her.
