My eyes need your help

[Donn Fletcher]

I can use some advice here. My allergies have been killing me the last month or so. I never have eye issues but right about now I'm about to scratch them out. It has to be the dryness from my stove. I didn't have any problems last year. Any way I'm off to buy a humidifier first thing tomorrow. Any suggestions?

How big an area are you humidifying?

I'm not sure if I just want to do my living room. That's where the stove is located and what seems to be the worst. It's not ver big ill have to measure in the morning. Funny this is I didn't have any problems last year.

Wally World usually has a good assortment of humidifiers. I think the evaporating wick type are supposed to be better for whatever reason.

You sure its allergies? Do you have a CO detector?

How often are you cleaning your stove...and do you wear gloves?

Maybe you should go see your primary physician. If nothing else has changed, maybe it's you...

This is what I use in the heating season.

+1 and LOVE it for its humidification capabilities and ease of use. Fill it with a 5 gal bucket. The downside to these units are they're somewhat noisy and they look like they're straight outta the Brady family den....as in Bunch, not Tom. They're kinda hard to find in my area. My local WalMart no longer sells them, however, Sears and yer local hardware store probably does.

Ahhhh, a rich genuine faux rosewood finish version. Lol. Usually they have em on sale around this time. I paid $120 for mine. IIRC, mine is the 12 gal output version with one big tub in the bottom. Just pour out of the 5 gal into the top. The downside to this is it can splash a bit so keep that in mind if you have wood floors. Some, like in your link, have 2 jugs you fill at the sink.

Highly recommended over a table top version if you don't wanna fart around filling every 3 hours.
