But Irene makes good sense once again--no mold if you clean it
frequently, and it's hard to imagine someone keeping a humidifier
running to the point that room fabrics stay damp! I guess if someone
is trying to substitute humidifier for steam therapy they could get it
to that point, but that is gross to contemplate...
