It's well known that living in a dry climate wreaks havoc with your respiratory system. Add in certain desert fungi, and yes, for me, living in the dry climate of AZ was a disaster. I was sick almost all of the time, had bronchitis several times a year, and developed asthma at age 30 or so.
I am much healthier since moving back east and the humidifier goes on in my bedroom as soon as the heat starts running at night. I wake up with a sore throat if I don't run the humidifier. In our old house, we had a large humidifier in the hallway of our second floor, so all 4 of us would be able to have the advantage of the wetter air.
I don't like super humidity, either, but here, that tends to be combined with high heat, only sporadically throughout the summer.
No need to get mad at this; just go buy a small plug in humidifier for your bedroom and the nose bleeds, coughing, stuffy nose will stop. Also, use a saline nasal rinse daily in the winter.
