My father-in-law is 79 years seasoned plus suffers from a heart condition; He takes a variety of experimental medications that have worked well for him.
He’s also on blood thinners. Both of us live in an section that experiences especially long plus brutally cold winters. The outdoor temperature is most often below chilly plus can drop down to pitfall twenty-numerous degrees. As an older couple, our in-laws tend to think cold. They set their thermostat at 68 degrees. Whenever we go to their house for family functions, we bundle up in our Winter coats plus boots plus then strip down to short sleeves. The house constantly feels hot! Everyone volunteers to carry the trash out to the garage for the opportunity to cool off. When the weather is cold, the air is naturally dry. With the oil furnace blasting, the conditions inside the house are much worse. The lack of humidity makes the air think colder plus can cause some problems. Chapped lips, headaches, sore throats plus itchy eyes are consequences of overly dry air. The air can dry out nasal passages plus increase susceptibility to respiratory infection. Another concern is bloody noses! My father-in-law suffered a bloody nose that was most likely caused by insufficient humidity. Because of the blood-thinners he takes, we couldn’t stop the bleeding. Both of us ended up calling an ambulance for him. Fortunately, our father-in-law was wonderful plus able to return home that same day! One of his dentists advocated that we install a whole-home humidifier for our in-laws. I am now researching the bizarre styles of humidifiers. I’ve been learning up on the benefits, plus I know a humidifier is going to make a big improvement in their comfort plus indoor air conditions.
