What Causes Feeling Frequent Shock Sensations In Body At Work Place?
Question: Now a days I'm frequently feeling static current shock in my work place. Any thing wrong with it?
Brief Answer:
Static discharges due to clothing
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. Static shocks normally occur when one is wearing any kind of clothing that attracts negative charges. That would be any kind of synthetic like Nylon or polyester. Now, when walking across a carpet which has alot of positive charges you might feel static shocks. Try and switch to cotton clothing and see if that helps.
In general, this has nothing to do with the state of your health and the static shocks have no effect on you, so not to worry.
If you like the synthetics, then washing them with a fabric softener in a washing machine should solve the issue.
Hope this helps,
Vinay
