What does it feel like to be in a house that's "too dry"?

The furniture tends to fall apart, to say nothing of your skin. It's
rough on many musical instruments too. I went to a uilleann pipes
concert in March and the guy was crouched over a vaporizer trying to
keep them functional.

The interesting part is you don't sweat like most people think about
sweating. Your pores are putting out moisture but it evaporates
immediately.

But that's the point. As soon as your sweat evaporates, it's performed
it's purpose, you cool down. It can't evaporate too fast, that would
make you colder and you just sweat less.

When it's 103 F getting too cold is not a consideration.

Precisely. I'd want 0% humidity so my sweat could evaporate as quickly as possible.
