When in a store, etc. I get a strong electric shock from touching metal; what can I wear to prevent it?

Question

P.S. these stores do not have carpet & only certain metal that I touch; like when opening the fridge compt. to get milk (I usually use my shirt sleeve to open these)

Answer 1

_The common factors in all of these cases point to dry air and materials that rub against each other to build up the static electricity. Certain materials--including dry human skin--can especially build up charges. Use a good moisturizer for your self. Static electricity doesn't work well in humidity or moisture present. When washing clothes use some of those anti static sheets in the dryer. They also sell at the grocer a anti static spray for clothes . I use it to spray it in the inside of my car. Then when when ever your in a store hold a key in your hand and touch any thing metal with the key to discharge your self. That should all help. Good luck.

Answer 2

You are dealing with appliances that have a deteriorated grounding wire, or no grounding at all. Advise the store owner about your experience before some one really gets hurt or killed.

Answer 3

rubber and leather. leather to protect the rubber. rubber acts as a retardent for electrical current. ever wonder why electricians works with rubber gloves covered with leather or suede gloves.
