In our house, very confident not a problem, as I double checked everything. Use extreme caution in rentals or hotels. Never grab a handle to turn water on.

Knocking around town, I don't touch anything with open hand. If anything, rest the back of my and on step railings, and avoid all illuminated signs when raining or ground wet.

Was walking on walkway after a rain on Phuket, and a dog a few meters in front of us got zapped/killed. Don't know if it was just stepping in the puddle, or it actually touch the 'illuminated sidewalk sign w/wheels".

Scared the sh!t out of me, as I was walking with my daughter and she could have easily touched the sign. Rest of the journey was in the street. Very eye opening how dangerous it can be here.
