why do i have so much static?

Static can be a serious nuisance in the processing of analog recording media, because it can attract dust to sensitive materials. In the case of photography, dust accumulating on lenses and photographic plates degrades the resulting picture. Dust also permanently damages vinyl records because it can be embedded into the grooves as the stylus passes over. In both cases, several approaches exist to combat such dust deposition. Some brushes, particularly those with carbon fiber bristles, are advertised as possessing anti-static properties. Also available are handheld static guns which shoot streams of ions to discharge static on records and lenses. Static electricity is a class of phenomena involving objects with a net charge; typically referring to charged objects with voltages of sufficient magnitude to produce visible attraction, repulsion, and sparks.\n\nNatural electrostatic phenomena are most familiar as an occasional annoyance in seasons of low humidity, but can be destructive and harmful in some situations (e.g. electronics manufacturing.) When working in direct contact with integrated circuit electronics (especially delicate MOSFETs), or in the presence of flammable gas, care must be taken to avoid accumulating and discharging a static charge.\n\nNote that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.

no....human bodies carry electric current very well and when you touch something with too much static, it goes thru that point in your body, and out another (into the earth). You're basically the earthing-wire.

static electricity.  If the air is very dry in your house, this can happen, especially on carpet or upholstered furniture and then touching something metal or electronic.  We have this problem too, especially in the winter.  We got a room humidifier and it has really helped.  It adds water to your air.

+ve charge on one, -ve on the other....static electricity

A lot of static electricity in the air can cause "dry lightning".  I assume that is what happened.

Lack of moisture in the air helps static electricity build up.  Cold causes moisture to leave the air.  So, static electricity tends to build up easier in cold climates.

You may also have too many applications running at once.  Try shutting down (closing) some things you have going.

You might have a low imune system, try going to your doctor because there are a lot of things that can cause that.

think so... we all have static electricity in our body...

you mean static shocks its built up sdick electricity and when you touch metal it discharges. there for shocking you. its not real elctrisity.

Sounds like either your mouse is faulty or it was static. If it happens regularly when you touch your mouse then it is a fault and you should get a new one. If it hasn't happened since that day then it was probably static.

You can spray your clothes with an anti-static spray like Static Guard or Staticide to prevent static electric buildup. I usually see them in computer parts stores (static is bad for computers).\n\nDuring the winter, there is very little humidity in the air. Dry air is a very bad conductor of electricity. During the summer months, you produce just as much static electricity, but it leaves your body quicker through the moisture in the air.
