There are devices used in cryo-ultramicrotomy that might help.  I have
no experience myself.  Also, I found this interesting article via
Google.

You know, all of it sounds so easy...unless you're cryosectioning!!
Does putting a humidifier outside help with static in a cryostat?
Because the static is driving me nuts.  Why aren't there teams of people
working on this issue? It keeps coming up, yet there is no one good
answer, Calling all engineers!!

with fleas to cure the illnesses that resulted from swallowing the
horse-leeches that were common in drinking water.
