Its not an allergy, its the soles of your shoes or your clothes building up a static charge. Carry some wet wipes and wipe your hands before you touch anything metal, it'll discharge the static. Try not to wear man made fibres.

It's not an allergy. It's static electricity. i remember workers camplaining that every time they touched a new machine they got an electric shock. The wiring was perfect and I suspected static and despite the use of an anti-static spray - nothing helped. Eventually, the problem was cured - the nylon carpet in the manager's office just had to go!! Look at your clothes, and other things you touch. You are the one with the electric charge and you get discharged every time you touch metal. Never touch any parts inside your computer without wearing an earth strap. the voltage on you is likely to be high - maybe millions of volts - you'll fry the micro-chips in your computer! That's why technicians' working on computers wear earth straps on their wrists. Discharging yourself regularly, may help. The kitchen sink - is usually well earthed - if it's metal and water pipes. Touch them a lot and see if that cures the problem. Avoid nylon clothing especially and other synthetics rubbing against each other will produce static. Even combing or brushing your hair could do it! Try undressing in the dark, if you get a sparky light show, that will give you a clue as to what clothes could be causing the problem. Also think about synethic fibres in carpets and anything else you may touch. You will get used to the shocks though and they are harmless. Even at a million volts!! lol This happens a lot because of friction - so even getting out of a car can cause it.

Hey mate!
That's just static electricity produced by your own body. If you wear clothes made of wool, cotton, and polyester and you often walk on carpeted floor. Add to that a cool or cold weather or room temperature ... then you got all the basic ingredients to produce static electricity. Gives you a good jolt, but it's harmless.

the reason you feel a slight shock when you touch metal is the electricity in your body. Dont think there is a cure but try using your right hand with no rings on.

you're getting STATIC electrical charge from something around you e.g. electrical appliances, clothes etc, which is producing electrolyte to passes through your body due to friction or contact with your body, which will then be charged to produce sparks when to touch metals. (no harm but find out and avoid it)

it's not an allergy - it's due to static electricity. usually caused by you building up a static charge due to wearing man-made fibers such as nylon or polyester. the charge gets released when you touch metal. it occasionally happens to me too.
