I got a humidifier yesterday. I put about a gallon of water into the air of my little apartment, and fell asleep.
When I woke up my nose was moist, if a little runny. So much better than the barren desert craggy nasty bloody snot crust lesions I have spent the last two months waking up to.
nice mental image, eh?
Yay! Let it run. We can get you one of these, if we need to:
