I took one four or five week regimen of it almost 30 years ago, and although my sensitivity slowly increases with time (not being exposed very often) that was enough.
It's a progressive-dose thing... 1/4 tab a day for a period, then half, up to two tabs a day... then done for decades of immunity.

Wow, impressive. Do you remember the name of the product?

It will not*generate* moisture but warm air will *absorb* moisture. This will then precipitate on anything colder than the said air, etc. etc.

We have dew points above 70F in the summer here when the wind comes from the Gulf of Mexico. My air conditioner can barely control the humidity. Then the jet stream shifts and a much nicer breeze comes in from Hudson's Bay.
Tomorrow we are due for that shift, which is considerably less pleasant in winter.

Why do all the good things that we grew up with (DDT, Aqua Ivy, REAL roman candles, freedom, honest politicians) go away and all the crap (rust, Thompson's Waterseal, Minwhacked finishes, AIDS, dishonest politicians, Rap, Myron Florin music) stay with us forEVER?
