31 If you live in a house that's constantly getting new wasps nests each year, you can easily stop them using a brown paper bag. Wasps are territorial creatures and tend to not start a hive that's too close to another one.
So by blowing up some brown paper bags and stapling them around the perimeter of your house and where you would normally find a nest, you can discourage them from ever moving in again.

33 Feeling an electric shock when passing by other people can be a strange and unsettling experience! There are a few possible explanations for this sensation:
1. Static electricity: This is a common phenomenon that occurs when your body builds up an electric charge, often due to friction or dry air. When you touch someone or something, the charge is released, causing a shock.
2. Human electricity: Humans have a natural electric field, and when we come close to others, our fields can interact, causing a sensation like a shock.
3. Nerve sensations: Sometimes, nerve endings can misfire, causing a sudden, electric-like sensation.
4. Medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as neuropathy or multiple sclerosis, can cause abnormal nerve sensations, including electric shock-like feelings.
If you're concerned about these sensations or if they're frequent and severe, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and advice.
In the meantime, try to reduce static electricity by keeping your skin moisturized, wearing cotton clothing, and touching a metal object (like a doorknob) to discharge the static electricity before touching others.
