What's The Effect Of Static Electricity On The Human Body？
Serious static electricity will cause irritating spots on the human skin and also make people feel irritable, dizzy, and chest tightness, and nasopharynx. Discomfort can even cause bronchitis, asthma, and arrhythmias.

How do I get rid of static electricity? [2]
You may not eliminate all shocks, what with nature’s abundance of electrons. But you can lessen their frequency and intensity.

Among the easiest and most efficient fixes is to humidify your home, providing the water vapor needed for electrons to roam. Humidifiers cost anywhere from $15 to $250, depending on size and features.

For a more targeted application, try an anti-static spray ($5-$9 a can). A quick spritz on clothes and furniture can take care of electron buildup.

Dryer sheets also can reduce static electricity. Rubbing them on carpeting once a week can lessen the risk of static shocks, but given the time and work involved, you might think a few zaps are worth spending more time watching TV.

You may want to avoid rubber-soled shoes. You’re walking on insulators, allowing static electricity to build with every step, especially on wool carpet. Try leather-soled shoes instead.

And maybe don't wear wool. The fabric is a more efficient conductor than cotton, meaning it can build up quite a static charge. You may even hear the crackle of static electricity as you pull on that flannel shirt or wrap yourself in a wool blanket. It’s almost as if you put on a generator.
