Is static electricity harmful to people? If so, what's the harm?

First, the harm of static electricity to people:

Skin electrostatic interference can change the normal potential difference of human body surface, affect the normal electrophysiological process of myocardium and the normal conduction of undisturbed ECG. This static electricity will aggravate the patient's condition or induce premature beats, posing a potential threat to patients with severe neurasthenia, psychosis and heart disease. Persistent static electricity will also increase the alkalinity of blood, reduce the calcium content in serum and increase the excretion of calcium, which will lead to itchy skin and pigmentation, affect people's physiological balance and interfere with people's emotions. In addition, office white-collar workers who operate computers every day, or people who have more contact with household appliances, often have erythema and pigmentation on their faces. This is due to the static electricity generated by the electric field of computer screen or household appliances, which makes microorganisms and dust in the air charged and adsorbed on the skin, which will irritate the skin over time.

Second, how to deal with the harm of static electricity to people:

For those who accumulate more static electricity in the body, it can be consumed by "output". People with more static electricity should wear chemical fiber clothing as little as possible, carry out anti-static treatment on chemical fiber clothing, choose pure cotton products or silk products for personal clothing and bedding, and try not to use chemical fiber carpets at home. Maintain a certain humidity indoors, such as mopping the floor with a wet mop, sprinkling some water or humidifying with a humidifier; You can also use a negative ion generator to neutralize some positive charges; After using the computer or watching TV for a long time, you should wash the exposed skin with soap in time to "drive away" the static electricity on the skin. In addition, we should also avoid staying in places with static electricity for a long time, such as the production room where computers gather, to reduce the harm of static electricity to people.
