I have some clothes that are manufactured from synthetic fibre.I am constantly receiving little
electric shocks every time I remove an item of
clothing.One such garment is a jacket that I own.
Whenever I take off this jacket an electrical
current strikes me on the thumb.Although this is
quite harmless it is very annoying.Recently I started
taking it off very slowly to avoid getting a shock.
One does not get this sort of thing with natural
fibres like cotton material.

Take your jacket off in a dark room, you can actually see the sparks,lol. We used to scuff across the carpet when children, and do this with high power sweaters,lol!

Hi: I just sent this information to another member who was having the same problem - I have found a product called Staticoff to be useful. I can buy it at my local hardware store, but just in case you can't the website may be helpful - www.staticoff.com.
