Why would someone need a humidifier? Though I live in a pretty humid place so I might be missing something.
If you live in a really dry environment, your lips will dry out and chap, and it'll make you tend to get thick mucous as the air dries out your throat and lungs. It exacerbates irritation if you have some kind of respiratory condition, and exacerbates dry skin.
I mean, high humidity also has its obnoxious sides -- mold, things tending to go bad more-quickly, harder for your body to shed heat by sweating. I'd rather be on the low side than the high side, but super-low humidity isn't fun either.
I live in Canada. We get very humid summers but the winters are way below freezing. Below freezing temperatures make the air extremely dry, with outdoors plunging to 0% humidity.
Humidifiers are needed to maintain indoor humidity though you can’t raise it too much or you’ll get condensation inside the walls and on the windows, leading to mold issues.
