Electric shocks from iBook!!

[Big Mafoota]

I keep getting little prickly shocks from my iBook. I'm getting them from the lid catch and the screws in the side of the case. They don't hurt, just prickle a little. Can't be good though surely?

Probably not good! In the manual for the MacBook they tell you to take the battery out when you clean the screen/keyboard to prevent static shock.
I dont know whats causing it but as you said I'm sure its not good!
