Static is the bane of my life recently. In my country and town, humidity sits at a steady 0% for ~300 days a year. The end result is that every powder - especially cellulose, progesterone, cimetidine and others - likes to stick to EVERYTHING, making it hard to pour, mix and measure. I'm wondering if
