Electrocuted...by household static…?
Hi, lately I find that I have been getting shocked by pretty much anything electronic and it has been getting stronger. Lately it’s seems like I can’t even turn off the light switch without getting a shock, on average I seem to shock myself about 100-150 times a day. It’s usually nothing to complain about but on larger power sources it’s stronger and sometimes painful. For instance when I close my laptop, the shock is so strong that sometimes whichever finger touches the laptop first goes numb for about an hour. Worst part is I think it is still getting worse. Just the other day the light on my desk lamp blew when I accidentally brushed part of it with my finger and was shocked.
So I guess my question is…what the heck is going on here? I really don’t care for having to constantly replace light bulbs and have parts of my hand numb for hours.
Any suggestions on how to stop this? Or at least from getting any worse?
Thanks!
