How does one avoid getting shocked by static, or at least diminish its effects?? [3348C]
You need to remain permanently grounded so you don’t build up a charge. I recommend walking around barefoot, and drinking lots of coffee so the soles of your feet stay sweaty. You could also attach to your body those anti-static straps that dangle from some cars and trucks to keep the vehicle grounded. You can find these next to the fuzzy dice and curb feelers in your friendly local auto parts store.
