This is really bad advice. Friction will set a primer right off.Never once worried about either. Primers require a strike. Powder, I prefer not to touch with my bare hands anyway.
A used dryer sheet will cut the static. Wipe down your equipment prior to use and it won’t be an issue.

Primers are subject to whats known as dusting. Dusting is a result of the manufacturing process. Primer pellets are designed to detonate, not burn. Dusting and control measures surrounding manufacture of primers is very controlled and often closely guarded for the methods used to manufacture them safely.I want to hear more about this.

While it is highly unlikely that low humidity and colder temps will pose a hazard with your your primers and powder, static buildup can be an issue with electronic powder measuring balances and can contribute to excessive zero drift. Static spray for laundry and sheets are useful for this.
I've never heard of static from fluorescent lights?
Electrical "noise" yes.
