Hi,

This only occurs in a low humidity context. Then, any rubbing on particular materials such as wool carpeting will literally brush off electrons producing an electrical imbalance and sparks fly. There just isn't going to be enough amperes to do more than make someone quite uncomfortable. But picking or rubbing the affected (sore!) area will produce skin lesion. I cannot say in your particular case, but the physics is going to apply to everyone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
