I've had it with this dry weather that keeps on giving me the jolts! ... I work on a high chair at my office, and these days every time I stand up, I have to remember to use my knuckles when I first touch a metal object. Otherwise the 20k+volts leaving my body make for an unpleasant experience.
That's my actual hand in the image, btw...
I remember a few years ago I fell for what I now know is a chinese scam in amazon, and I acquired this device that promises to "wirelessly get rid of bodily static electricity"... using a so-called "corona effect" that has nothing to do with what it's supposed to do...
Question, is there really a way to avoid this situation without having to connect oneself to ground through a wire?
My gut feeling tells me that no... that physical contact is the only way to get rid of the charge ...
