Best Answer

If you touch the charged item to the ground, the charge will go into the ground. This is because static electricity is caused by either having too many or not enough elecrons. When toughed to the ground, the item will either get rid of the electrons or pick more up, making it neutral.

avoid anything that would rub two fabrics like cotton or cotton blends together. Leather is okay. the two cotton fabrics have different electron charges and when rubbed together they cause static electricity

Purchase a humidifier and fill it with water and turn it on. You will not have such dry skin either then. You will notice the static electricity reduce tremendously.
