Every time the end of a charger touches my skin, i get an electric shock from it. It happens with every charger i have ever had, including android ones. It feels like pins going into my skin, its really weird. I have searched it and they all say my charger must be faulty, but it happens with every charger?
Thanks for reaching out myah267,
It sounds like you're experiencing an electrical shock with multiple chargers, both those for Apple products and those for others.
Normally, if you run into an issue with a defective charger, we would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer. But since you're describing the behavior happening with every charger you use, it might be worthwhile to check a few things first:
2. If you're not able to narrow this down to one location, try checking with a friend or family member who has a known-good working charger that is not giving them any issue and see if you run into the behavior. Another possibility is static electricity, which can accumulate and discharge and be mistaken for an electrical issue in some situations.
3. You can bring in your chargers to the manufacturer to have them tested and potentially replaced under warranty.
If you need help locating service for your Apple branded chargers, you can connect with Apple directly using either Get Support or if you're in a region without direct support options, you can also Contact Apple for support and service.
Hope that helps.
Take care.

Hello,
An electric shock of any kind should always be taken seriously. If a fault is suspected, stop using a charger immediately. As has been mentioned, contact the manufacturer and/or a qualified electrician.
Stray capacitance in double insulated appliances (that is, without a protective earth connection) can lead to leakage currents. This may result in a tingling, slightly stinging or vibrating sensation. The insulation as such could be OK. Again, if in any doubt, do not use the device. Ask a technician with the necessary qualification for advice and a test. If someone would use a multimeter to measure between a metal part of a device and an earthed (grounded) object such as a sink, the voltage could be relatively high (perhaps even 80 V AC or more if the mains voltage is 230 V AC). However, the leakage current may be very low, and does not necessarily have to be dangerous (but could possibly be under certain circumstances). Measuring with an appropriate resistive load can be important in order to get correct test results.
Electric shocks from chargets?!!? Help?
