Anonymous Poster	Sparks Sound from Touch 05/15/2010 10:34 AM
	I seems to "discharge" electric when friends touch me either accidently or other wise? There is a sound like of "sparks". It also happens when i touch metals or persons. What is the cause? Is it because I do not drink sufficient water? Would it be dangerous ..... like attract lightning?

	That's static electricity. It's usually upwards of 20,000 volts. __________________ CARPE CRUSTULORUM!
