I used to live in a state that got extremely humid in the summer. I did get all of these symptoms at first, but after a while you get used to it . That and air conditioning is a life saver!

(P.S.: The Neti Pot sounds intriguing, but no way am I pouring stuff up my nose!)

I am so gonna invest in one of those portable air con systems for next Summer. I live in Australia and last summer was like death. Anyway I must have had humidity sickness, because my husband was extra irritating. Cougar Woman’s last blog post..How to Tell If You Are a Cougar Woman

Mark G: I’ve heard good things about the Neti Pot, and I even bought one myself, but I just can’t bring myself to pour water up my nose. If my sinuses ever get bad enough, maybe I’ll give it a try.

I live in Colorado, which is has to be considered “extremely” dry all year round, and travel frequently as part of my profession. Whenever I travel to places like Miami, New Orleans and Houston I have a couple of days where I am struck by symptoms resembling those seen with sinusitis. I do have a remedy, which is to use a Neti pot at least twice a day if not more. I would highly recommend every person to use a Neti pot daily since it contributes to good sinus health in general. I hope this helps anyone suffering from this disease.

mlm: You are a woman after my own heart and A/C bill. Those sneaky husbands will not win! And I didn't want to say anything before (partly out of embarrassment and partly because I didn't know the official name), but . . . I have SCS (runs off to hide)

Here in Texas (not Houston), it’s almost ALWAYS humid. We use our air conditioner 9 months out of the year. (Or, I do. My husband sneaks in and turns it off. But I’m wise to him! I go and turn it back on immediately. I told him, “I don’t care if our electric bill is $500.00. I will NOT be hot in my own house!)As a matter of fact, my mother has named this time of year “SCS”. It’s almost too gross to explain,…..but I guess I will. Sweaty crotch season. I mean, if you go outside for EVEN A MOMENT, and not even DO anything but just stand there, you can go back inside and it feels like you’ve peed your pants. I told you it was gross, but I’ll bet it happens to a lot more ladies out there than they will admit.

kouji: HA! Yes, I better get some funding from the Air Conditioning Association of America, or whatever they’re called!

jennyonthespot: The only time I ever sit in a sauna is when my mom and I visit Las Vegas. The hotel has a really nice spa, and I’m ALWAYS so clogged up and dry-headed from the climate change. But I have to open the door every 30 seconds or I can’t breathe!
