If we push up our home's humidity in the winter, we'd all be healthier and more able to resist the typical winter cold/flu season. Conversely if we remove higher humidity in other months, we'd be healthier and happier.

    Guess we aren't all the different from our herps that way LOL. I may try this idea out....seems very reasonable

    LOL....you know what's funny is that we spend way more time worrying about the husbandry needs of our animals than we do our own. If I took as good care of myself as I do my critters, I'm sure I'd be a lot happier and healthier. So why is it so hard to do? LOL

    Is it a "warm mist" humidifer? If so, it is pumping heated water into the air. I have a humidifer that works just on a evaporation principle and it does not effect the temp of my air at all. :)

    it is warm mist...It is definitely heated air. I dont know that the temp is such a problem. It was around 85...
