I actually talked to my doctor about this because I kept getting zapped so bad.
She suggested making sure my skin was hydrated and not dry. She explained it, but I don’t really remember why now. I started using more lotion after her recommendation and the number of shocks I received dropped drastically.
So it while humidifying the air should help, hydrating yourself should too.
Besides the dry air, which has an impact, the other big factor is to address where the charge fingers from in the first place.
It is caused whenever two different materials are rubbed together. One grabs the electrons, the other loses them.
In the winter we tend to wear more layers, often with very different fabrics. Reducing the number of layers or trying to keep fabrics similar can help reduce shocks.
