I too live in Florida (Northern) but am lucky enough to live by the ocean. I have a large dog that needs to be walked several miles a day and head out early in the morning and very late in the day. Humidity actually allows me to breathe better versus the dry cold air of winter. Unfortunately, new neighbors moved in and insist on venting their perfumed filled dryer sheets towards my house. Going outside and enjoying the patio is severely hampered. Air conditioner, dehumidifiers and air purifiers occupy my house!
