Everything Around Me Shocks, Why? by goodlistener: 8:46pm On Dec 17, 2021
Yes its harmattan, everything around me shocks more than before, door nobs, metals, electronic appliances even bed sheet. Like haba, I hope I don't get electrocuted, lol, any explanation why?

Anyone with similar experience or is this a health issue?

I believe it's called static electricity. According to Wikipedia,

"Removing or preventing a buildup of static charge can be as simple as opening a window or using a humidifier to increase the moisture content of the air, making the atmosphere more conductive. Air ionizers can perform the same task.[2]

Items that are particularly sensitive to static discharge may be treated with the application of an antistatic agent, which adds a conducting surface layer that ensures any excess charge is evenly distributed. Fabric softeners and dryer sheets used in washing machines and clothes dryers are an example of an antistatic agent used to prevent and remove static cling."
