Hey all,
I think I have super powers...well they aren't all that super. I seem to be a mega conductor of static electricity at work.
We were mocking up some LED tape on stage today for a project and at multiple times while working on it, I was slightly lighting up the LEDs around my hand (the tape was disconnected from power). In many instances, I have went to do something at a computer and I'm able to blackout the monitor for a second when I touch the mouse. We have a touch panel screen on our stage rack to control house lights and work lights, which I went to turn off the lights the other day and caused that display to blackout briefly as well. Just about everything you can think of has caused a shock at one time or another.
A few key notes: I'm the only one that encounters this issue, I am shocked multiple times a day, our flooring ranges from high traffic carpet, cement, tile, masonite stage floor, to the anti-shock carpet in the tech booth (I'm finding it difficult to believe it's anti-shock LOL). I also wear a few different pairs of shoes so I don't think that's the issue because it happens no matter what I'm wearing. And no, I'm not rolling around on the floor constantly or rubbing my head on the carpet. Also, I don't have nearly any static shock instances outside of work.
To get to the point, what would be causing this much static in only one person, and can I do anything to combat it? I feel like I'm going to fry a monitor at this rate.
Thanks for any tips or good laughs!
