> but they are highly sensitive to beta
I’m not familiar with Geiger counter design/specs but would the considerable static electricity send some electrons into the detector and cause a false positive beta hit?

However, I wonder how well shielded the electronics are. In a poor quality design even the static charge fields themselves might trigger a false hit.
