"the weather channelStep outside on a summer day, and it's easy to feel the effects of humidity—sticky skin, a sweaty brow, air thick with moisture. But when it comes to humidity inside, "humidity promotes mold growth and dust mite population growth. Both are significant indoor allergens and can set off allergic sensitivity and can trigger rhinitis and asthma," said Dr. Michael Ruff, an allergist.
 
If the presence of mold or dust mites sends you for a tissue or your doctor's office, then keeping the humidity inside your home at 50% or lower may provide some relief, said Ruff.
 
"High humidity in a home can cause rot. And, especially in the South, it draws pests." —Jill Mayfield, information Coordinator for Austin Green Building Program.

Study: Mold in Homes Doubles Risk of Asthma
 
"Exposure to mold and dampness in homes as much as doubles the risk of asthma development in children", says Dr. Jim Burkhart. "Anyone with young children in the home should be aware of the potentially harmful effects of long-term exposure to mold and this potential link to asthma in children," —published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
