Last night I got out of my car. My fingers were at LEAST 3 " away from the door and a spark lit up. I could actually see the keyhole thanks to the light.
I use a leave-in conditioner spray on the hairbrush before brushing my hair or my two daughters hair and that gets rid of static all day. On my clothes, I use dryer sheets.

No I disagree. I have to put on and take off horse blankets and I keep getting zapped. Also when I get out of the cars. And after patting the critters.

Just a warning for anyone who pumps their own gas & static electricity. A young man was killed in my area this week when static electricity ignited the gas fumes as he was pumping gas. It is very rare but does happen.

LOWER ALLEN TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Investigators have determined that Friday morning's fire was accidental, started by static electricity.
Officers found the body outside the car, which had been on fire along with the gas pump, police said.
The coroner says 19-year old Luther Byers of Camp Hill died from inhaling super-heated gases from the flash fire.
Police say surveillance video shows Byers in the blue Toyota entering the BP station in Lower Allen Township around 3 Friday morning, then getting out to fill his tank.
Police Chief Frank Williamson says investigators know that Byers was not smoking and was not using a cell phone, but they remain unsure of what went wrong. Williamson said, "The vapors from gasoline are what burned. The vapors are given off every time you fuel your vehicle. Somewhere along the line as he was fueling the vehicle there was a static electric discharge that ignited the vapors.

I "tap" the car before I touch the gasoline, but I actually cringe and have to work myself up to do it.

Every morning - every winter - I boil a large pot of water on the stove - that way - we (ourselves and cats) don't get shocked.
