Ultrasonic vs Evaporative Humidifier

What’s The Real Difference?

Ultrasonic Vs evaporative humidifiers

Ultrasonic and evaporative humidifiers are two different types of humidifiers that work to add moisture to the air in a room or living space.

Ultrasonic humidifiers use high-frequency vibrations to create a fine mist that is released into the air. They are typically quieter than evaporative humidifiers and can cover larger areas. However, they can be more expensive and require regular cleaning to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.

Evaporative humidifiers, on the other hand, use a wick or filter that absorbs water and a fan to blow air through it, releasing moisture into the air. They are generally less expensive than ultrasonic humidifiers and can be easier to clean, but they can be noisier and may not be as effective in larger rooms.

Both types of humidifiers have their pros and cons, and the best option for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

Maintaining the right humidity levels in your home is essential for your health and comfort. Dry air can lead to a range of problems, from dry skin and irritated respiratory passages to static electricity and damage to wooden furniture. At Shift Air Mechanical, we offer top-of-the-line humidifiers that help you achieve the perfect indoor environment. Here’s how a humidifier can benefit you and why you should consider investing in one.

Benefits of Using a Humidifier

1. Alleviates Dry Skin and Irritation Dry air can cause your skin to become dry, itchy, and irritated. A humidifier adds moisture to the air, helping to keep your skin hydrated and reducing the discomfort associated with dryness.

2. Reduces Static Electricity During the winter months, dry air can lead to an increase in static electricity, which can be annoying and even damaging to electronic devices. A humidifier helps to maintain the right humidity levels, reducing static buildup.

3. Supports Respiratory Health Dry air can irritate your respiratory passages and worsen symptoms of allergies, asthma, and colds. Adding moisture to the air with a humidifier can help soothe irritated airways and make breathing easier.

4. Promotes Better Sleep Proper humidity levels can help you sleep better by reducing dryness and irritation in your throat and nasal passages. This is especially beneficial for those who suffer from snoring or sleep apnea.

5. Protects Wood Furniture and Floors Dry air can cause wood to crack and split over time. A humidifier helps to maintain the right moisture levels, protecting your wooden furniture, floors, and musical instruments from damage.

Choosing the Right Humidifier

When selecting a humidifier, consider the following factors to ensure you choose the best one for your needs:

Room Size: Choose a humidifier that is appropriate for the size of the room you intend to use it in. Larger rooms may require a more powerful unit.

Type of Humidifier: There are different types of humidifiers, including evaporative, ultrasonic, and steam vaporizers. Each type has its own benefits, so choose one that suits your preferences.

Sometimes you have to get it out via direct uninterrupted stream of conciousness so ifnyou want to read that go ahead I guess

When you read a twitter thread about something that then makes you Uncontrollably Afraid about it being Hot Out so you seek to find soemthing to replace the air conditioner you have but don't want to use cause it Sucks and doesn't really do much for the area of your apartment you spend the most time or really anywhere except your livingroom so you haven't used it in Two Years so who knows what state it's in... And you find a Cool Fan that looks like it will solve All your problem and put your paranoid weasel brain at ease but when you get your hands on it you apparently misinterpreted what ~evaporative cooling~ meant and it's not. A Dehumidifier it uses cold water to Humidify which is Exactly The Thing You're Freaking Out About and it's still a much better fan than what you had before so you aren't going to return it or anything but now it won't ~Save You~ and you have to contemplate dragging the AC out again to try it because it really Is the only thing that would ease your mind but you Really don't want it to dump water all over your carpet again.. but you'd have to drag it out anyway because you were going to sell it once you had this Great New Fan and, again, it sat doemant for two years so you Gotta make sure it still works, but if you swallow your stubborness and the AC actually works better when you're not faffing about with pumps and water dumping everywhere then you don't know what you'll do because you don't have room to store Both Devices and you Just bought the fan and your mom drove half an hour straight from work to help you get the damn thing home and she'll see if you post it on FB market place and that feels. Bad. And then your buildings elevator is going out for the whole summer basically in like two days so you Really don't want to try and lug Either device down the stairs to give it to someone from the Internet. Which Does give you amply time to test both of them for effectiveness but like... And you're still pretty sure the big fan is still better for you and your whole Situation in terms of Mental Strain and You're pretty sure the thing you're afraid of isn't (yet) a concern for your reigon Anyways but if it turns out like Next Year that changes and you gotta start being Mondo Concerned and you don't have the 800 device that you need to Not Die because you Sold It for a fan that Makes the Problem Worse, what the Hell Fuck then are you gunna do??? Die, Probably!!!!!!!! -screaming and screaming and screaming forever-

Hey there, could you do some domestic kataang (maybe with a hint of cloudbabies)? I would really appreciate it.

I love your works, thank you for them and thank you in advance :)

Hi! This one got to be much longer than a drabble, with way more than a hint of cloudbabies. You can also find it on ao3 for ease of reading :) Thank you so so much for the ask--I hope you enjoy!

In Sickness and In Health (rated G)

Katara awoke with a start to the sound of Kya snoring loudly on the floor next to their bed. That’s right, she remembered, rubbing her face, she came in here because she couldn’t sleep. No wonder with that stuffy nose… She rolled over and found Tenzin curled up in Aang’s spot on the bed, snuggled into a blue blanket woven from Appa’s fur. His mouth was lolling open and there was a trail of drool hanging out. Scanning the dark room for Aang, Katara’s heartrate quickened when couldn’t see him anywhere.

Since having kids, Aang had sworn off leaving in the middle of the night for Avatar emergencies. He always waited until his family was awake and he could give them notice first. He said it was because they didn’t deserve to have their young lives interrupted like that, but Katara knew better. She knew that it was to say goodbye, just in case the mission went badly wrong, as emergency missions are wont to do. To make sure he gave each of his children a hug and told them how much he loved them one last time. 

Pulling on her robe, Katara slowly snuck out of the bed. She bent some water from a nearby pot and with a splay of her hands it vaporized, immediately humidifying the room. Kya snuffled in her sleep and rolled over. Katara padded down the hall to the kitchen with a smile, where she found Aang examining Bumi as they stood next to the table.

“I don’t think you’ll be going to school today either, Boom,” Aang was saying. Katara’s smile evaporated.

“But Dad!” Bumi protested. “I can’t miss today! I have my final presentation in World History and Uncle Sokka was gonna come talk to the class with me!” 

“I’m sorry, son,” Aang shook his head, putting a hand on Bumi’s shoulder. “You couldn’t even keep your breakfast down this morning and you’re burning up. If your mother was awake she’d tell you the same thing.”

Katara chose that moment to fully enter the room, placing the back of her hand gently against her oldest son’s head. She had to reach up to do so, now—he’d gotten so tall in the last few years. Her heart squeezed at the thought. He was in his final year of schooling, and then she was sure he would be off on new adventures without them. This little boy had been her entire world since the day she found out she was pregnant, and now he was almost a man. 

“Spirits, Bumi,” she exclaimed under her breath. “Your dad’s right. You definitely have a fever. I’ll make you some jook and then it’s back to bed with you—healer’s orders.”

Aang shot her a worried look as she started the rice on the stove and Bumi sat down, laying his head down on the table, defeated. He always hated when any of their babies were sick, and right now all three of them were being slammed with something. She looked out at the snow falling around Air Temple Island and sighed, weariness already seeping into her bones. She just hoped she and Aang could stay healthy.

This winter had been particularly hard on all of Republic City in terms of illness. The hospital she worked at had been overrun and she knew there had been many illnesses spreading through the school their older two children attended. It seemed like since the weather turned, every other week one of their children had been down with something, and now it was all three at once. 

Aang brewed them all some tea on the other stove burner. He pulled out some of Iroh’s special blend to help with Bumi’s stomach. Katara smiled sadly. They’d been through enough stomach bugs at this point that they had the response down to a science, though it never took the edge off of their parental worry. Aang had clearly woken up early to help Bumi this morning and already cleaned up whatever mess there was. 

The two of them worked together in silence, conveying their concerns in glances and pressed lips, gentle touches as they moved around each other in the small—but homey—kitchen. Soon the tea was ready and Aang passed Katara a cup before carrying two over to where Bumi sat. Aang passed his son his own cup and gently encouraged him to drink.

Now that Bumi was almost 16, there weren’t as many opportunities to still care for him the way they had when he was younger. He didn’t come to them for comfort as often. When Tenzin was upset, he would come toddling up to his parents for a hug or for them to “kiss it better.” Kya was six now and when she was sad, she waffled between wanting cuddles from her parents and wanting to prove her fierce independence. 

But right now, Bumi took a sip of his tea, winced, and buried his face in his father’s shoulder. Aang wrapped his arms around his son as best he could and stroked lovingly at his back. 

Katara stirred some miso and ginger into the boiled down rice, remembering the first time Bumi had been sick and how terrified Aang had been. They’d been so young when he was born, and Aang was still figuring out the many ways in which his trauma presented and affected him. The first time Bumi had caught a cold and his little body struggled to breathe, Aang had been positive that their child was about to die. While Katara had cleared the infant’s nose out as best she could (while Bumi screamed and coughed even more and tired himself out), Aang pleaded with Katara to save him. 

“Please,” he had begged, tears in his eyes and pain etched into every surface of his face. “I can’t lose him, too.”

Katara had known Bumi would be fine with continued treatment; she was a healer after all, and this was a typical childhood cold. But Aang had flown into a worry spiral unlike anything she’d ever seen from him. She knew how important their children were—to each of them individually and to the world—but to see how the unlikely loss affected her young, strong husband was jarring.

She had placed baby Bumi in his arms, then, under his sash so that they were skin-to-skin, chest-to-chest. Immediately, both of them relaxed into each other. Tears still streamed down Aang’s face as he hummed an old Air Nomad lullaby but Katara watched the tension drain out of his muscles now that he could physically feel their child breathing. Alive. Okay.

Katara watched as that same tension evaporated from Aang now. Cupping Bumi’s head against him and stroking his back. She scooped up a bowl of jook and brought it to the table, pressing a kiss into Bumi’s wild head of hair. 

“Thanks, Mom,” he mumbled weakly.

“I love you, Boom,” she cooed. Tears pricked at her eyes and she quickly blinked them away before pressing a kiss to the top of Aang’s head too, and going back to the kitchen.

Kya and Tenzin had been down with colds for the last two days, and the kitchen was a bit of a disaster as a result. Katara took a deep breath, willing herself the energy to get the dishes washed and the counters wiped down.

“I can get it in a minute,” Aang reassured her, but she shook her head. He was right where he needed to be in this moment; she could handle the dishes. Just then, Tenzin toddled in, coughing.

“Mama! Water, pease?” 

She smiled as he raised his arms up to her. This was the precise reason the dishes hadn’t been done the day before—she’d had two sick and clingy children who needed their mama. Aang had tried to stay home and help, but a messenger hawk called him away by lunch and then he’d been kept at the council late into the evening. Bumi came home after school, took one look at the pile of sick children resting on his mother on the couch and said he was going to Uncle Sokka’s to work on his report, not returning until bedtime.

Katara scooped up her toddler and poured him a glass of water which he guzzled down. Hopefully Kya would sleep late and feel better when she awoke. She was already a creature of the night—often feeling the call of the moon and asking to practice her bending after the boys were in bed. It wasn’t unusual for her to sleep until midday on the weekends even when she was healthy. She took after her mother so much already.

Katara ladled another few bowls of jook, then took Tenzin’s now-empty glass and set it down on the counter to refill later. Tenzin played with her hair as she bustled around, tidying the kitchen, allowing their meal a moment to cool. She saw Bumi take a small bite out of the corner of her eye and watched him anxiously. He swallowed, then returned his head to Aang’s shoulder. Aang returned her look, but gave a subtle nod. I’ve got this, he said, wordlessly. He’ll be alright. 

Breathing a sigh of relief, she brought Aang his own bowl, which she knew he wouldn’t eat until after Bumi was safely in bed and he’d reheated it with firebending. Then, grabbing the bowls for Tenzin and herself while balancing the wiggly toddler on her hip, she took them into the larger, more formal dining room that was really only used when they had guests. It had plush orange pillows on the ground and a low table. She didn’t normally allow her children to eat in there, but since Bumi was ill, she didn’t want to risk a very messy Tenzin slurping or spilling his food and turning his brother’s stomach even more. Eating with small children definitely wasn’t for the faint of heart… 

Tenzin absolutely lived up to her predictions, too. By the end of their meal, she even had jook in her hair. She reminded herself that Tenzin was the least rambunctious of her and Aang’s children at this age as she wiped food out of his pajamas and summoned water to clean up the cushions they were sitting on before the rice mixture hardened. It seemed as though he had hardly gotten any of the food in his mouth, finding more enjoyment in flinging his spoon or painting with it. Not that she was surprised—he was so congested.

Eventually, she heard hushed voices and the scraping of a chair. Aang must be helping Bumi back to bed, she thought. Or he’s been sick again… She knew Aang could handle whatever the situation was, though.

Once the mess was cleaned up, she set Tenzin in the living room with his toys and tried again to start the dishes. She could feel a headache coming on but tried to will it away—she could not be sick, too. She didn’t have the time.

Already it felt like she’d taken more time off work in the last month than she’d spent at the hospital. And the Republic City council was beginning to get frustrated with Aang as well for his frequent absences. Being a working parent had always been difficult, but it was another level of anxiety when the kids were sick.

Tenzin came in and tried to cling to his mother’s legs as she worked, scrubbing dish after dish and setting them to dry. As she went to set another plate down on the counter, she found it landed in Aang’s hand instead and she grinned up at him.

“Thank you,” she said quietly as he began to dry each dish and put them away.

“Of course,” he said. “Bumi’s resting, now. He’s got a bucket in there just in case, but I think he should be okay now. I sent a hawk to Sokka to let him know, too.”

“Oh Spirits, thank you,” she sighed. She truly was grateful for a husband who took on so much of the work when kids were sick and didn’t need to be told what to do. Suddenly, she sneezed, and Aang looked at her with concern.

“I’m fine,” she tried to insist, but Aang already had his hand up against her forehead.

“No, you’re not,” he said, taking the same tone he had with Bumi not an hour before. “You need to go lay down, too. I’ll finish the dishes and send hawks to the hospital and the council that neither of us will be in, today.” He bent and lifted Tenzin off the ground, freeing Katara’s legs.

Katara set the bowl she had just picked up back in the sink and leaned heavily over the counter. She knew Aang was right. Aang wrapped an arm around her and she rested her head on his chest, allowing him to walk them all back towards their bedroom. 

The sound of Kya’s snoring greeted them, though it wasn’t as loud as it had been earlier. Katara hugged Aang, then squeezed Tenzin’s hand before collapsing back into her bed. 

“I’ll bring you a glass of water and some tea,” Aang whispered. “Call me if you need anything.”

“I love you,” she murmured.

Aang lovingly brushed her hair away from her face. “I love you too, Sweetie. Get some rest.”

When Katara woke up again, her throat was throbbing, and she felt achy all over. She rolled over and saw that Kya had left the room at some point. Her tea was still there. She took a sip to soothe her throat, but it was cold. Outside their room, Kya and Tenzin were bickering about some sort of toy configuration. 

Aang either sensed her movement or had perfect timing, because at that moment he opened the door and brought her a steaming bowl of soup. 

“How are you feeling?” he asked hesitantly.

“Worse,” Katara croaked. “This should help, though. Thank you. How’s Boom?”

“He’s still sleeping!” Aang chuckled after he shook his head and the concern over Katara’s state faded from his face. “He hasn’t been sick again since this morning. Kya coughed so hard a few times I thought she was going to be sick, but we’ve been safe so far. Tenzin seems to be doing much better.”

“That makes sense, since he was the first one to get it. Hopefully that means Kya isn’t too far behind.” 

Aang nodded then, noticing that Katara hadn’t had any of her soup yet, bent a mouthful up to her. She smiled when she noticed, rolling her eyes at his playfulness that she loved so much. She finally opened her mouth and allowed him to bend it in. It immediately warmed and soothed her and she sighed happily once she swallowed. 

“Now you have to stay healthy,” she said sternly. “We can’t afford to have everyone down but the toddler!”

Aang full-out laughed at that. “No,” he said. “That certainly wouldn’t do. Can you imagine all the furniture he would paint?”

“Or the ‘soups’ he would make in the sink?”

“Or how many cushions would be used for forts? Do you think we would even be able to walk through the house when he was done?”

“Ha! Probably not.” 

“Speaking of which, I should get back out there before they find a way to overturn hot soup all over themselves. Will you be okay?”

“I’m good. Thank you again for the soup. And for everything. I love you so much.”

“Love you too, Sweetie,” he said as he closed the door to their room once more.

Katara grinned. She felt terrible, but she was so glad that if she and the kids had to be sick, Aang was the one they had by their side through it all. She couldn’t imagine a better partner in these moments. He had his flaws—it was not easy to be married to the Avatar—but he also knew exactly how to cheer her up when she needed it.

I ordered a humidifier from target.com but they sent me the wrong one. it's funny because the one i ordered was 36 bucks and this on is 64 bucks lol but i want an evaporative humidifier that uses a wick and not the misting kind, so now i gotta send it back and wait for a replacement, oh well.

[in-inertia]

@hulizi replied to your post “My skin itches fiercely. I can't stifle the ugly...”:

Dear would you like me to bring you some water? Maybe a little humidifier you can bring around?

​As thoughtful as that is, it would be impractical in the heart of Sargon. I'm drinking as much water as I can, but short of submerging myself, there's little that I can do. The burning sun evaporates what little moisture makes its way to my skin.

[brapgf]

hypothetical liberal talkshow host that evaporates on air and they have to dump him out of the humidifier and he just goes back to talking about how orange trump is

[thenighttrain]

Some people wash their face so aggressively that even damaging natural moisturizer leads to dry skin. The cleansing bar is go — to in the winter season to dissolve the day away and hydrates your skin.

3.Moisturize the Skin All Day

We all love fresh and lightweight gel moisturizers in summer, but winter require a richer formula to lock skin from hydration properly. The cold air depletes the skin moisture. Thus, moisturizing your skin is vital to keep it hydrated and soft. So, rather than using lotions use body butter creams and petroleum-based products which are excellent choices to treat dry skin in winter. Thus, always apply moisturizer after cleansing your face. Even people with oily skin should use lightweight, unscented moisturizer. It will nourish your skin deeply.

4.Use Sunscreen

Moisturizer makes your skin smoother, but sunscreen will protect the skin from UV rays. Whether outside is cloud or dark weather, your skin always needs sunscreen to protect from the sun.

Thus, it becomes even more crucial to take care of your skin moisture and install a humidifier in your home. If you have dry patches, then moisturize them. However, the best way to avoid this issue is to order body butter online, giving the skin the required nourishment. Apply it to the body and massage it in a circular motion till absorbed by the skin.

6.Don’t forget to Exfoliate

Exfoliation is a crucial part of maintaining skin glow even in winter. If you fail to exfoliate your skin at least once a week, then you are not doing favors on the skin. An excellent approach to exfoliating the face in winter is using a body yogurt product and scrubbing it gently. It helps to remove dead skin cells and get rid of dirt and oil which builds on the skin’s surface.

7.Keep Yourself Hydrated

Anything you consume will reflect on your skin and body. So it is essential to eat healthily and drink as much water as possible. However, staying hydrated by consuming fluid and the best source is to intake water. The water will help you avoid skin dryness and make it younger and fresh. In the winter, people usually forget to drink enough water, which creates skin hydration issues.

The skin on your lips is thin and loses its moisturizer quickly, which can lead to chapped and flaky lips. So, it is always essential to carry lip balm with you and rehydrate it from time to time. The lip essentials will not only add an extra layer between lips and moisture–sucking air but also provides essential nutrients that help your lips to moisturize from the inside.

9.Don’t Use Chemical Soaps

Harsh soaps are entirely prepared using a chemical and artificial fragrance that irritates the skin and leads to excessive dryness. But ordering honey almond soap online will keep the dryness issue at bay. So, using organic soap maintains skin shinning and makes them refreshing. Also, washing the face twice a day is mandatory as it will remove all the dirt and pollution from the skin.

Due to low temperatures in winter, the humidity levels create various skin problems. Thus, pick a yogurt products, hydrating cream or sheet mask with moisturizing emollients and more active components like vitamin C and ceramides. This hydrating mask will remove impurities, calm dark spots, and exfoliate the skin.

i know this post has breached containment too thoroughly for this to have much of an effect but here's a quick FAQ based on the notes?

Do you sleep with your eyes open?

that is the issue the goggles are primarily designed to address but it's hard to say as i sleep alone. even if you don't sleep with your eyes open the goggles still help to keep your eyes from drying out overnight.

Why not use a humidifier?

i have a humidifier but i don't use it at night for a number of reasons, primarily bcos there's not much point if i'm also using the moisture chamber goggles.

Do you have sjogren's syndrome?

sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes basically your entire body to dry out. it's not impossible that I have it but it didn't show up on my bloodwork, the type of dry eye I have isn't consistent with sjogren's (sjogren's typically causes reduced tear production whereas what I have is poor quality tears that evaporate very quickly) & according to the rheumatologist i saw sjogren's patients typically have joint inflammation and i do not.

however he also told me that even if I do have it, unless the symptoms are severe enough to justify immunosuppressant drugs (mine are not) there isn't a whole lot to be done medically speaking beyond what i am already doing. such as wearing dry eye goggles at night. :)

my dentist thinks my chronic dry mouth might be due to sleeping w my mouth open and recommended an anti-snoring device and im like ok im game to try that but i do need to tell you that i already wear dry-eye goggles at night. this has no bearing on whether or not i can also use the anti-snoring device i just need you to know how ridiculous im gonna look

What should we do when our lips are dry in the winter?

When our lips are dry in the winter, we can take several measures to alleviate the discomfort and restore moisture to our lips. Here are some effective strategies:

Increase Water Intake

: Drinking plenty of water is crucial for maintaining hydration throughout the body, including the lips. Aim to drink at least 8 cups of water per day, and consider adding some flavor with fruit juices or herbal teas to encourage hydration.

Use Lip Balm

: Applying lip balm can quickly replenish moisture to dry lips and lock in hydration. Choose a natural, non-irritating lip balm with ingredients like petroleum jelly or beeswax, and apply it 2-3 times a day, especially before going out and before bedtime.

Maintain Indoor Humidity

: Winter heating can dry out the air indoors. Using a humidifier in bedrooms, living rooms, or other frequently occupied areas can help maintain indoor humidity between 40%-60%, which is beneficial for lips.

Adjust Diet

: Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can supplement vitamins and minerals, which are essential for maintaining healthy lips. Foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits, kiwis, and spinach, have antioxidant properties that can protect the oral mucosa cells from damage.

Avoid Licking Lips

: Licking lips may provide temporary relief, but the digestive enzymes in saliva can disrupt the natural oils on the lips, leading to faster evaporation of moisture. This can create a vicious cycle of dryness.

Gentle Exfoliation

Depends on whether it's indoors or outdoors, and what exact humidity level you consider "humid" or "dry" for your area.

Hear me out

Outdoors dry heat will let you cool off by sweating, obvious logic, always.

But indoors you can have devices. Indoors you can use dehumidifiers and evaporative coolers. Indoors the end result you get will depend on what humidity level you start with so I can see people having a different preference if they spend most of their time indoors.

Dry heat all the time indoors might let you sweat and cool off that way better, and might let you use evaporative cooling, but if it is always dry heat, it means your living space is super dry year round, because it being cold also makes the air dry. It also means there's no cooler to go by taking humidity out of the air. Like yes, that's largely because you've reached a point where dehumidifying literally can't help anything anyway, but it is slightly infuriating to have a dry bleeding nose in the dead of summer, knowing it will only get dryer in the winter. That and there's an ideal equation of sweating at a rate that you can keep up with by drinking water, and when it's really dehydratingly dry, it can make it hard to drink enough water and not deplete your electrolytes by accident. Constant attention to micromanaging everything you put into your body at all times is not what I would consider comfortable. In my apartment, for example, I have a couple baby cacti I have to water DAILY because it's so dry in here. I grew them from seed, I know for a fact by now that this isn't excessive for them and when I water them less they shrivel. Last summer it was 50 degrees indoors and while that meant sweat dried, it also meant no amount of running a dehumidifier could make it any cooler. There's a limit to how much sweating can cool you off, and when your water loss exceeds that limit, it's just annoyingly dry and it's in your house where you can't escape it. There's a limit to running a humidifier too, not that I have one currently.

So of course you still probably want dry heat so that sweating can actually cool you in all cases, and because using a humidifier with cold water, or a swamp cooler, can cool the air if it's starting off that dry, without making it so humid that you can't sweat effectively, BUT having it be obscenely dry and that hot at the same time can start getting super dehydrating, and I don't like having eyes so dry my vision is blurry for half the year, in summer.

I am willing to bet there is an ideal humidity range that lets you sweat effectively but isn't so dry it dehydrates you, that most people prefer actually, but will refer to as "humid" or "dry" depending on whether that relative humidity is high or low for where they live.

If forced to chose between too dry and too humid I am still picking too dry and then just trying to evaporative cooling my way out of that mess, but I think above all it's time that Canada recognizes that air conditioning is as necessary for survival as heating is, and should make it mandated by law in homes and rentals the way heating is. I shouldn't be forced to try to survive 50 degrees without air conditioning while having POTS and other heart issues just because I am poor and my landlord didn't see fit to have more than one singular sliver of a window that I can't even fit an air conditioner into if I could afford one.

I would have been swearing dry heat up and down the board with no caveat or exception but my apartment is so dry it makes me think the landlords stuffed the drop ceiling with freshly roasted silica beads before I moved in... And I am going to say that also has its downsides.

summer is coming up lads..

Humidifier Market: Key Trends and Innovations Driving Industry Growth

The global humidifier market size was estimated at USD 4.43 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.73% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing awareness about the health benefits of maintaining optimal humidity levels, such as reducing the incidence of respiratory issues, virus infection, dry skin, and sinus problems, is driving demand for humidifier. This is particularly evident in regions with dry and arid climates or significant seasonal variations, where dry indoor air is a common issue. The increasing incidence of respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies has led to a greater emphasis on maintaining optimal humidity levels, thereby driving the market for humidifier. According to the American Lung Association, Asthma affects around 24.8 million population in the U.S., including over 5.5 million children, causing millions of emergency department visits and tens of billions in healthcare costs annually.

 The humidity level in the air can affect the survival and transmission of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. When the air is too dry, some pathogens can remain viable for longer periods, making it easier for them to spread. Maintaining humidity within the recommended range, typically between 40% and 60%, reduces the viability and transmission of infectious agents. This is because, in air with relative humidity (RH) above 40%, airborne viruses within droplets become less stable and are more likely to deactivate quickly, making them less infectious. Thus, the ability of humidifier to play a vital role in infection control in hospitals by helping to maintain the appropriate levels of humidity in healthcare environments drives the overall market growth.
