What to do about static electricity?

Answer 1

You can ground the item that has a build up of the static charge. Ground straps are typically worn when working on static-discharge sensitive components like circuit boards in a server.

Otherwise, ground the item to discharge the static charge.

Note that the correct term is "static charge", which refers to the buildup or deficiency of electrons on a charged body.

Answer 2

To reduce static electricity, you can try using a humidifier in dry environments, wearing natural fibers like cotton, and avoiding rubbing synthetic materials together. Grounding yourself by touching a metal object can also help discharge built-up static electricity.
