correct answer

Dangers of Static Electricity:

1. It will cause you severe third degree burns

2. It will stop your breathing and cause your heartbeat rate to be abnormal

3. It will make you paranoid

4. It will give your extreme illness due to electric shock

5. It can cause death

Answer 2

Just as with most other phenomena in our environment, moderation is the key.

Too much of even a good thing can be dangerous.

Too much static electricity makes lightning, which can certainly produce damage

to trees, rocks, houses, or human bodies.

In moderation, however, nobody was ever seriously injured by somebody else

scuffing across the carpet and then sneaking up behind to zzzap them. The only

danger from moderate carpet zzaps is to some small electronic devices, mostly

semiconductor devices being handled carelessly.

Answer 3

It attracts certain items to each other, like a balloon sticks to a wall. It can create sparks, and if 30 miliamps go through to your heart, it can kill you, so you need to be extra careful with it. You need 10,000 volts to make a spark, so it is so dangerous, but not if you just get a quick static shock.
