Staying Healthy
Having the proper humidity levels in your home can help halt the spread of infection. Air deficient in humidity dries out the mucus membranes in your sinuses, which clean out bacteria. Dry air also increases the prevalence of colds and flus in the winter time. Also, bacteria and viruses have a tougher time traveling in moist air. Setting your home at ideal humidity could help you keep on feeling well during the coming season.
