Accumulation of charge on fingertip
Hi,
I am suffering from a rare problem, i.e., accumulation of charge on my fingertip and disposal on metal body and human fingers.
Yes, I know it's a rare story, and for the last 1 month, whenever I felt an electric shock by touching metal tap, I was checking the earthing of the house.
However, yesterday I felt the same along with a family member, when accidentally our fingertips connected. Both of us felt the same. Is this even possible? I am really confused.
Regards

This is rare , likely due to ionic discharges due to magnetism of our own body. Iron in Hemoglobin and energy dissipation and neutralization phenomenon is responsible. So dont panic.
Next Steps
usually no method is sureshot helpful but walk barefoot on ground/ grass. Less use of computers and other electronic material.
Health Tips
Meet neurologist , get your wellness profile blood tests including iron studies and thyroid profile.
