Static electricity

Hi team.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a large build up of static electricity to the extent that at times when I touch something I get bright sparks and very loud I suppose you could call them snapping sounds.

From time to time it gets worse and of late, unable to shake hands with friends or new acquaintance's as they get a shock from me.

Is there anything that I can do?

    He He. Sorry. Thats odd. Not medical at all. Ground yourself before shaking hands. Uh...I have something similar. Wierd. Small mechanical devices break very early on in my posession...phones, can openers, hair dryers. I heard of this in a fibromyalgia magazine. Those of us who hae it experience electrical field issues. That is all I have heard. I know it is wierd, but we have different electrial currents in our bodies. Only God keeps that current going in our hearts to pump over and over and over. Only He really knows about such things. All we can Remember....ground yourself!!

    He He. We are unusual.

      We have a mysterious and awesome God s a creator. Praise Him for the life He gave us through His Son Jesus Christs sacrifice on the cross. We have life through Him. Enjoy your electrical field...he he. I do.

    Nylon shirts can build up static like that. I used to get shocks if I touched metal and Stainless Steel digital watches used to go crazy on my wrist.

      Hi derek76

      The only thing is that 95% of my clothing is cotton as polyester makes me itch and the other 5% is footwear...strange.

      I do, but have to have cold hands if I know that I am going to shake hands or touch anything.

    Mark, every one of our electrical fields is different. The Chinese call it aura. It is a field we emit. I am a believer that it is exactly what is happening here. It is just the way you are. No poblem. It is ok. Do not worry or be embarassed. It is you and you are unique, son...just as we all are.

    Hi Mark, I suffer from the same problem and shaking hands etc., varies from person to person.  I use fabric conditioner in my washing, which helps a little.  I wear very few man made materials.

    I have grown used to earthing myself before touching anything that is going to give me a shock.  I don't know the answer to the problem though

      I have tried allsorts, but find that fabric conditioner makes my condition worse in warm conditions. But find that if I hold on to a bag of ice or a damp cloth, it helps a little. But get fed up of cold and painful joints.
