The Effects of Humidity on the Human Body. As discussed in Home Humidity and Allergies, humidity directly affects the amount of allergens in the indoor environment. In particular, high humidity causes both dust mite populations and mold colonies to grow, thereby greatly increasing allergy sufferers' total allergen load.

This is because as environmental temperatures approach normal skin temperature, cooling of the body becomes more difficult.
