I live in a high-altitude area where it is very dry. In one area in my house, it is mostly rug and this one set of light switches and thermostat create the worse shock. I try to not scuff my feet, touch something else first but it doesn't work. I worry more than I should simply because my husband has heart problems, it can't be good for him. Are there some type of attachments or ideas to use that would prevent this?

I live in the desert at a high-altitude (about 6500 feet). Although it has not solved all of our problems, a humidifier has helped a lot. Since we couldn't afford a whole house system, we use one in the living room and in the bedroom. I also keep a large pot of water on the stove on the lowest heat when the house is extra dry. In the room that we hardly ever use, I have a bucket of water with rolled up newspaper in it to serve as a humidifier. I have to change the paper and water about every three days.
We do try to wear cotton clothes around the house. I often spray the carpet around the light switches with Static Guard. I don't hold the can that close to the carpet.
I know how annoying the problem can be. Good luck!

A humidifier will help your problem. If you still get those small shocks you could first touch the object with a piece of metal such as a key or a coin to discharge the shock and then you will not get the shock with your fingers.

Its no longer the carpet stupid, Its the microwaves effecting you. What you're able to desire to do is to 711 and circulate slowly into their great commercial Microwave that they use to microwave their oh so yummy breakfast sandwiches. yet first make helpful the rotating plate interior is popping counter clockwise with a view to counter act the outcomes you're entering into your place of work. Then positioned on severe for 3 minutes, stay in Microwave 2 minutes till now getting out. you would be sturdy to circulate! not greater stunning once you touch door knobs. purely a advantageous consistent buzzing in you head... sturdy luck. Oh and by skill of ways, whilst your at 711 , in case you utilize the restroom, do no longer by skill of any skill, flush paper towels down the rest room... It clogs the chili dispenser and that they get truly pissed.

try using one of the spray products for static cling in clothing.Spray a small amount over the rug let dry and this will last for two to three weeks until you need to reapply.It will not hurt your rug,as it does not hurt even the finest clothing.I live in a cold dry climate and that's what we do in my household.And it works extremely well

I took Electronics in High School and you need to keep your fingers together rather than touching something with your fingers apart..
