Humidifier and purifier to beat your paranoia about itchy throat

In these days of self-quarantine, they complement the need for good ventilation

We are now paranoid about having dry, itchy throats, worse if accompanied by coughing. And given the frightening surge in the number of new COVID cases, with the easily transmissible omicron, we have reason to be. Infections or exposures to positive cases are happening by the households. Self-isolation must be done, and done well.

It takes efficient and commonsensical household management to implement home quarantine, for many members of the household. How do you prevent the members of one family or one household from breathing the same air? We know of the case of one guy who had to pitch a tent in the family garden and sleep there temporarily because all the other members of his family have tested positive for the virus.

Air ventilation in the home is important in preventing home transmission. Confined spaces, we know by now, are to be avoided. Open windows, open doors for free air flow help.

When we told the family doctor that our home air ventilation is good, she added, “Don’t forget to use air purifiers, or even humidifiers.”

That was when we searched the market for air purifier and air humidifier. We use air humidifier—small glass cases—because we usually suffer from dry throat upon waking up in our airconditioned room.

Coming up in our search are the Mi Smart Antibacterial Humidifier and the Mi Air Purifier. The humidifier has large capacity water tank which can last 12 to 15 hours, more than enough for our sleeping time.

We put one in the bedroom and turn it on before we go to bed, and start the K-drama marathon. It’s easy to maintain and control. We just add bottles of distilled water each time.

The purifier is good for common areas, such as the kitchen, bedroom hallway, and even in roomier bedrooms. Its HEPA filter is designed to remove bacteria and viruses: 99.99% H1N1 removal rate of 1 hour, 99.30% staphylococcus sterilization rate of 1 hour.

It feels good to wake up without stuffy nose and dry throat. Better still, it’s good to feel secure right in your own home. Beating paranoia is the first step of healing in this day and age.
