Your throat contains mucous membranes that dry out quickly, leading to the feeling of a dry, unpleasantly scratchy throat. Irritated sinuses and nosebleeds: Just as with a scratchy throat, your sinus cavities and mucous membranes in your nose can dry out quickly, leading to a burning or irritating sensation. Nosebleeds can result from dried, irritated mucous membranes, and the easiest solution is to increase the humidity.

Static electricity: When your home is appropriately humidified, the static electricity in the air naturally dissipates. However, indoor air is excellent at storing electrons when it is dry. This build-up of static electricity can cause unexpected electric shocks when you touch a conductor, such as a doorknob or a metal surface.

Wood damage: Overly dry air will absorb the moisture out of the wood in your home, leading to the wood cracking, splitting, and bending. In particular, dry air can damage wooden floors, the wooden frame of your home, furniture, and even musical instruments. While properly treated wood is more resistant to dry air, long-term exposure raises the risk of damage.

Instead of using a tumble-dryer, let your clothes dry inside in a room or living area that you want to humidify. The moisture will evaporate from the clothes into the air and raise your indoor humidity levels as they dry. Adding houseplants to your home: Plants release moisture into the air through a process called transpiration. The more plants you have, the more noticeable the moisture-releasing effect—as long as you remember to water them! Plants release moisture into the air through a process called transpiration. The more plants you have, the more noticeable the moisture-releasing effect—as long as you remember to water them! Showering with the door open: Your bathroom is often the most humid room in the home. You can spread this humidity from a hot shower to other places by showering or bathing with the door open. Be sure to warn other household members in advance! What Are the Dangers of High Humidity Levels? While uncommon in winter, there is still a possibility of having too much humidity in your home. Condensation is often the first sign that you are over humidifying your home. Condensation occurs when moisture-laden warm air hits a cold surface or when there’s too much humidity in your home. The water vapor condenses and forms water droplets. If left untreated, the condensation can lead to mold growth and wood rot. You can fix high humidity through various means, including:
