My daughter's American Girl magazine says to pour lotion in your hand, rub it between your hands and while it is still shiny run your hands through your hair to control static.

So where the microtome is here that I have to use we have to wear those blue hospital booties and disposable lab coats (the white paper type ones). With me and several other people walking around in those booties the amount of static electricity is to say the least frusterating!! Does anyone know of anything I can do to get rid of the static?
