Static Electricity?

If John K was correct, yes it would affect everybody in the house and it wouldn't just be a spark. Yes it is just a static discharge and most of the time it will not harm kitchen appliances as you are discharging to the casing of the appliance. Yes this can be annoying and the best fix is to get a whole house humidifier for the winter. You are about to turn your evaporative cooler on and that will take care of the problem for the summer (it is also dry in NM in the summer) but you might consider a whole house humidifier for next winter. By the way, I am also from NM and haven't noticed much of a problem since I replaced most of our carpet with wood laminate flooring.

Its impossible to add humidity to a room using wet clothing hanging around since to increase the humidity in such a large volume of air as in a house requires a whole house humidifier which can produce about 10 GALLONS of water moisture a day into the house air.

A single room humidifier is also a piece of equipment not worthy of purchase as it is way too small an amount of moisture put into such a large volume of air as a house.

Neither will bracelets or wet socks or clothing change help.

Go to the Carrier website and see what a whole house humidifier looks like. There are two basic types, on is a flow across medium type, the second is a rotating cylinder in water. Both require the usage of a whole house air handler system such as what is used in furnaces or air conditioning systems.

These units can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot and cost around $500 installed price and are well worth it from the standpoint of not only static electricity elimination, but also from the health standpoint. Moist air means less dry throats and nostrils and a better breathing atmosphere.

Try this for a quick and easy fix. Change your clothing to a cotton based material instead of synthetics. You are getting a large static build up in your clothing because of the synthetics. Tell your husband that you need a new wardrobe, including under garments, then get him to help you pick some of them.

Try a humidifier. Dry air makes static electricity worse. Also, if the problem just seems to follow YOU around, try a daily moisturizer/lotion and a conditioner on your hair.

You need to increase the humidity content of your air. I would also suggest getting rid or polyester socks, rugs, and other static generators.

There's a naked hot wire contact in one of the features .The only reason of getting electrical shuck is contact of hot wire to metal and if you touch two metal object (for example : fridge and oven at the same time ) shuck will be more stronger than it was before .
