It's worth considering, SMitty. By comparison, humid tropics don't seem to suffer from related ailment adversely, and i think if it's the indoor presence of moulds, then the materials and construction of your home is a big factor. I heard it is the black moulds that ar e most dangerous - whatever species that may be passed me by, but should be easy to identify, as their danger is common knowledge in the building world. They seem to thrive in modern meatrials like artificial carpets on damp concrete. It's where breathability is compromised. SO ventialtion is another factor, rather than just humidity per se.

In fact, there is great concern over moulds in so called 'hypoallergenic' artificial quilts, pillows, and mattresses, upon which we breathe our moist air. Whereas wool in particular and feathers and cotton don't seem to have the same problem - wool is an excellent wick for moisture to disperse..and yet doesn't actually soak up water (like cotton). At home we use wool futons now. The six layer one is as comfy as a feather mattress - divine. Feather is a bit more costly. In the old days people used to stuff new mattresses of hay several times a year, or beat and air and expose to light their feather mattresses. SOmething we don't do with modern heavy sprung mattresses.

After reading the various posts on fungus, I'm wondering
how bad it is in the southern states where it's humid a lot
of the months. Humidity would seem to be a factor in
fungus growth.
