A member asked:

How does humidity affect someone's immune system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

One thought: Humidity can increase vegetation and growth of bacteria, mold, dust mites potentially creating a reactive response by the immune system to challenge, whether it be from infectious agents, commensal agents, or allergic agents.
