My mom has difficulty breathing, which would benefit her more? A humidifier or a DEhumidifier?


My mother is suffering from ALS aka Lou Gehrig's Disease, and with the heat being what it is(100+degrees) outside it gives her a tough time.

air conditioning, if you haven't got it, is a must, and if you're in a humid climate, a dehumidifier. if you are in a dry climate, like the southwest, a humidifier.

humidifier

people with this type problem generally benefit from a dehumidifier, however, you really should talk to her doctor Before you do anything
