It makes the skin feel itchy and flaky too. In addition, relative hum idity has been shown to have a significant effect on airborne infections. At 50 percent relative humidity, the greatest number of germs are destroyed, and influenza viruses lose much of their virulence. This may come as shock to some, but more moisture in the air also means fewer static shocks when walk ing on carpets or handling paper and fabrics. A humid ity percentage of at least 45 is needed to keep the sparks from flying from most things, and wool and some synthetics should be wetter still.
