I develop a tremendous amount of static electricity at the place I work. I get shocked about a dozen times per day. These are standard, “little jolt when you touch the door knob things,” not “knocks you across the room like McFly.”
Should I be worried about health consequences?
I assume that it’s just really, really annoying.
Nah, you’re fine. Static electric shocks like those you experience are fairly high voltage - on the order of 10 to 50 kV, depending on various factors - but very, very low current. They don’t have enough energy to do anything other than annoy you and your cat. Or blow up your house if there’s been a gas leak.
I guess that’s one potential health consequence. 
It’s been a loooooong dry winter round here. I’m getting a lot more static shock recently myself . . .
If Chairman really wants to worry about it, there is a slight possibility of electroporation, the electrically driven injection of foreign DNA into his cells. I’ve never heard of it happening as a result of static shocks, but the conditions are there, and you can never be too careful with the purity of your precious genome. 
So, I should make sure that there are no flies in the room when I go to get a file out of the cabinet?
Carry a key.or other metal object,in your hand and, as you approach the light switch or the filing cabinet or whatever it might be,touch it with the key.
The discharge will be complets and you will feel no shock.
It works likke the static chain that gasoline trucks sometimes drag on the ground as fire/explosion-prevention.
EZ
I always wondered what that chain was for.
Engadget had a post about a pen that was to dissipate all your static electrical charge before touching anything. It’s good to know that I can just use my Space Pen. I knew it would be good for something.
