I'm on the way down to Nashville with a friend where we'll do a metric at the Natchez Trace CycleFest in five hours.

We are staying at his brother's house a couple hours north of Nashville - a neat old farm house in the country.

I'm in a bed that has the subtle mustiness that comes from being in a humid, un-air conditioned environment. MY ALLERGIES ARE IN TOTAL OVERDRIVE and I'm sleepless! I have always been sensitive to this; I remember once where it was terrible at a high rise hotel in downtown New Orleans where it was so humid that the A/C couldn't keep up.

How does one deal with this? Is there some travel solution that can mitigate the smell?

I'm about to spend more time on a bike then I will have spent sleeping...and that prospect isn't appealing...not to mention my present discomfort.
