What causes the sensation of electric shocks in the body?
Disease description:
Why do I keep experiencing static electricity and feel electric shocks on my body during autumn and winter?
The sensation of electric shocks in the body may be caused by factors such as calcium deficiency and dry skin. Calcium deficiency can lead to abnormal nerve function, resulting in the feeling of electric shocks. In dry climates, static electricity is easily generated. The electrical charge from dry static is usually very small and generally not harmful to the body. It's important to moisturize the skin and keep it clean to reduce static electricity. Maintaining indoor humidity by mopping floors regularly, spraying water, or using a humidifier can help sustain appropriate humidity levels and minimize the buildup of static electricity on the body's surface.
