Why do i get electric shock from metal utensils?..

I avoid them or am careful when i use them..coz any clanging between them and my teeth
and i feel like i just got a jolt...i don't have that many metal fillings in my teeth so i wonder why
is that?...anybody experience this?...

and the thing is if someone sitting next to me is eating and using metal utensils and clanging away
teeth-utensil...it drives me nuts, like i almost feel it.
 
I get it too. Must be a chemical reaction between the metals. Sort of like the way a dry cell battery works I would imagine. It could be for some completely different reason though, that's just my best guess without any education to back that up.
 
You do know that you've got an electrical system in your body, right? Your heart is its own power company. You're probably just one of those people who has a high(er) level of electricity running through you. Nothing to worry about.

i understand that but are u suggesting it has nothing to with the fillings?...just in general overall?

or maybe inside mouth is wet...so metal...like it conducts more electricity inside there.
 
Are they jabbed into an electrical socket? If so, wet your hands before touching it=only way not to get shocked.

It might have something to do with the fillings, at least the frequency of it, but I don't have a cavity in my head and I occasionally get a shock from metal utensils.
 
Not-So slycat, you quit sticking the metal utensils in lightsockets, wallplugs and the toaster this problem will go away.
