Static electricity In the beginning of this week, it was cold in my town, it was about 12-13 degrees C. From Monday to Thursday, I was zapped while I touched doorknobs. Over 20 times and it scared me. Even I didn't touch the doorknob, I would be zapped by any metal. I tried to find how come I got it. Some local online newspapers were terrible, but they were the first sources I found in my language. They said that I was felt lack of oxygen. Really? because of too many clothes or anything else I told to my mom, 'Mom, people say I lack of oxygen, that's why I was zapped' My mom seemed to believe what I was saying, she said, 'I told you already, you have to take a deep breathing 20 times in the early morning if you don't want to die'. She looked serious Well, I breathe every day mom, not only 20 times in the morning as you say Now I know it because of static electricity. Mon won't stop worries because I breathe enough oxygen haha
