Ground the box.
like the person above said, ground it to the box, that is if you have a metal box, otherwise just buy a new switch, sounds like you have a old switch, all the new ones have ground screws.
a good switch cost about a buck
You don't. If the box is metal, ground it. If not, change the switch out to a grounding type. If the switch is not within reach of ground, fold the wire back into the box and forget it.
Ground: sink, tub, stool, outdoors, concrete floor....
If its a metal box attach the ground wire to the box . If not cruel the end of the ground wire and place it under one of the 2 screws that hold the switch to the box
PS if its a metal box you local home center has small grounding clamps and snap onto the edge of a metal box
when no screw is available for a ground use a wire and screw to box that is if its a metal box,
