Believe it or not, during winter months in Minnesota the air in your home is probably as dry as the Sahara Desert. And dry indoor air can cause everything from minor irritations to more serious health problems.
Effects of dry air on the body
1. Breathing dry air is a potential health hazard which can trigger such respiratory ailments as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and nosebleeds, or general dehydration since body fluids are depleted during respiration.
2. Skin moisture evaporation can cause skin irritations and eye itching.
3. Irritative effects, such as static shocks.
4. The “apparent temperature” of the air is lower than what the thermometer indicates, and the body feels colder.
