At the same time though I once arced nearly 2000 volts at 10mA directly through an IC multiple times before I caught it due to some fucked up wiring durring a hi pot test. The IC was still perfectly fine afterwords and passed all tests. Of course I still replaced it because there's no way I would ship that to a customer. But you would be surprised by the amount of abuse modern electronics can take.
Static is definitely easy to come by but the odds of it actually doing any harm are very low.
