The staticide is available in various forms. It is to be sprayed on
floors, mats, carpets and so on once a week or so. I have discoevred (by
making an educated guess and thentesting) that fabric softener has the
same effect. It is refreshed by spraying just plain water. Some floor
waxes also have this effect. Waxes are normally among the best insulators
available but apparently some of them aren't.

If you are worried about static get a static probe and wear it. It will
warn you from approaching anything with a potential != yours. You can make
one easily using a mosfet (2N7000 works), a battery, a led and a resistor,
but better rely on a professionally made one.
