Many common board components have ESD-withstand ratings of 250V, far below what you can feel. The assembled product may be somewhat robust (including case), but most ESD events are not detectable without specialised equpment.

Risk of ESD increases exponentially as humidity decreases. 40% is the recommended minimum. But, humidity is not sufficient to ensure safety. Equipotential bonding is required (commonly "grounding", but the important bit is that al
