The fact is that the human body is an excellent conductor of electric current. Clothing made of leather, wool, and synthetic materials can accumulate electric charges.
In addition, during the winter period, the natural humidity of the air coming from outside significantly decreases. This leads to even greater accumulation of charges due to the increased resistance of the dry environment to the flow of electric current.
For this reason, winter clothing can give electric shocks.
To reduce negative effects, it is recommended to wash clothes using special detergents that have an antistatic effect, as well as to maintain optimal humidity levels in indoor spaces.
