try to see if u wear any rings and metal substance, if any try to remove and try it again. Very important try to remove ur mindset for shocking.

ion imbalance in your fluid is a possibility but not a guarantee, reduce your salt in take, and take laxative. To remove physical doubts, have electricians check your earthing, I assume there is no earthing done though for that to occur.

It is due to static electricity. I also have the same problem.
Try to read about it online.
Our bodies conduct static electricity and it depends on individuals.
I dont think you have any problem. Try to change your footwear.
Avoid wearing footwear that is made from rubber or plastic.
Dont drag your feet on the ground when you are walking.

The problem is that in terms of genetics (inheritance of characteristics from one's parents), the guy's body has an electrical resistance far below that of the average human. "Resistance" is a term in electricity used to describe the ability of a thing or object (living thing or non living thing) to prevent or reduce the amount of electricity passing through it. Some human beings like a man in india have very high body "resistance" such that they can withstand very high electric voltages or currents far above that any normal or common human being can tolerate without getting killed. The problem with the person who started this thread as i had earlier stated, has a body resistance far below that of most "normal" humans. I would suggest to him to start taking lots of multivitamins as these can help him. But he should seek the help of a geneticist if there is anyone available and likely not a medical doctor as he will be not well versed but tell you to accept your fate like that. More later if am chanced.

@OP....exactly what use to happen to me.......The day ATM machine keypad shocked me was my worst one....
Who could be happenin?
Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by 76Naira(m): 8:33pm On Jun 26, 2012
@ poster......please ignore those who make a joke of this.
I understand what you are talking about as I experience the same.
I am also AA, O positive.
My case is related to static electricity and I had to buy a discharge wrist collar.
I am still sensitive to it due to my history but the actual effect is reduced.

Mine was so bad that once its dry, anyone I shake hands with receives a very mild shock.

You should also check your clothing and seating material as some combinations really generate significant charge build ups.
Ion imbalance can also elevate it.

Google up "managing static electricity shocks' and "blood ion imbalance" and read till you are tired.

Cheers bro

it amazes me the way nairalanders respond to people's issues as if the person came to nl to make a fool of himself.pls u must not respond to a thread if u have nothing constructive to contribute.may u nt xperience wat u mete out to other people
@poster u r not alone as i also have a similar xperience.mine is wit my decoder.it has shocked me so many times.also the little f-connector @ the tip of d cable often shocks me.last sat i xperiencd a shock,switched off @ d sockect,touched my decoder n got another shock.
It does nt have anything to do wit body cream as i do nt use any body cream,but i'm aware that i sweat a lot on my palms.as i'm typin this my palms r wet.i will also try taking blood tonic.
To all who made usefull cntributions ,thanks

There'snothing wrong with U that wearing dry slippers wont cure.
We respond to latent electricity differently.
U did not grow up in the North, U would have noticed this B4.
There are 4 people in my House. 2 get static electricity from our kitchen sink, 2 dont.
Its no Biggie.
Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by Nobody: 11:23pm On Jun 26, 2012
Are u a northerner? Have u ever taken expired Kunu or Zobo? Sorry for your experience. A doctor might help you.

See a neuroscientist or Neurosurgeon.

Oga, that of kitchen sink happens often in homes where you have a water heater and/or electric cooker. Some connection has been exposed or a house that has wrong wiring from the onset whereby any little wetness on the ground necesitates shock with kitchen sinks.
Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by sammirano: 11:34pm On Jun 26, 2012
@OP, tow things could be the cause, one the wiring in your house is having breach then when you touch some electronics as you have mentioned you get shocked, secondly from my study our body stores some electric in it especially our palm, which is why it is advised anytime you want to work on an electronics board you rub your hand on the floor in order not to damage the board and there are times our body is just vulnerable to the smallest electronics when you becomes acquainted with electronics you will understand when to handle electronics anyhow and when not. your list CPU, UPS these things normally do shock.

Emmyk: Lmao. For real!? I'm too healthy sef. My genotype is AA and O positive as my Blood Group.. Why dont I get sick then if its weak blood? The last time I had injection was in 2009 for typhoid...
consult a doctor jare,next
Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by staggerman(m): 12:08am On Jun 27, 2012
@Poster, I can point out a few reasons why you receive electric shock

1. Your house is not properly earthed. If it was earthed, fake rods were probably used,or the ground where it was buried has poor conductivity (less fertile soil or dry ground, mostly found in dry regions). This can be rectified by re-earthing with original rods and increasing soil conductivity by pouring salt or charcoal before burying the rod.

2 You probably sweat often. Water is a good conductor of electricity, so also is salt. Sweat is salty. The presence of sweat in hands, palms and feet increases conductivity to a very high degree. This can be corrected by cleaning off sweat as often as possible, especially before touching potential electrical hazards.

3. You probably have high percentage of water in your body, due to frequent consumption of water.

4. You may be wearing metallic jewelries such as wrist watches, necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets. Gold and Silver are good conductors of electricity.

Also try to use insulated hand gloves before touching electrical hazards. Use insulated rubber shoes as well.
STAY SAFE

not only yu bro,,.
Am also anoda victim........Wen I contacted my Doctor past years ago he told me ma skins were very sensitive dat I shld handle any electronics wit slippers on ma foot............
Till now it's still happening to me
Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by Nobody: 4:53am On Jun 27, 2012
The advice u all are giving the poster is wrong! @OP, rubber is a good insulator against electricity so start eating foods that look like rubber. eg: Kpomo or round-about. Eat plenty of them everyday and thank me later.

Are you sure you dont sweat on your palms a lot, because if you do, it contains salt and water - so i wont be surprised.
Some people even complain of ATMs shocking them. . .

Re: Why Do I Get Electrocuted Easily? by Nobody: 7:01am On Jun 27, 2012
Emmyk: Almost every electronic equipment gimme a "ghrrrrrrrrr" effect whenever I touch a part of it that any other person touch with success. Ranging from Fridge,Stablizer,UPS,CPU. And ofcourse Laptop adaptor, I mean the tip dat is inserted into laptop, I touch it and I get shocked! The next second I call anyone else to touch it and they feel okay, not like they didnt breath when they touch it! Does this weird thing happen to someone else there?

maybe d salt level of ur body is above normal...
