ok, when in the shower, you reach down and touch one of the fixtures, you get shocked. and i'm not talking about sliding your feet across the floor in winter and touching a doorknob shock, i mean your funny bone rattles in your arm kind of shock. if you are not touching the water and you just touch the fixture, you don't get it. you have to be touching both. I've been noticing it for weeks, if not longer but I currently have poison ivy and I took a "baking soda" bath. for the first time ever sitting in my bath tub i reached forward to turn off the water and i got it good. what could be causing this? my Dad thinks it is a faulty water heater element, sending a current across the pipes to the shower, tub.
