Dry heat will do it everytime.

I was always miserable with the forced air heat we had in Delaware, I always kept a window open and pans of water on top of the floor vents for some moisture. And that was natural gas.

Now we have the opposite problem. We have an oil fired furnace but it fuels a baseboard hot water heating system. There is too much moisture in the house so we wound up with mold and all of us were sick for more than a month before we found and eradicated the major source of the mold. We are also firing up the wood stove a little more often in order to dry things out.

My husband and I spent the 3 days after Christmas smelling like clorox and lysol but by Monday we all felt better than we had since before Thanksgiving. And yesterday he spent the day pulling up the old vinyl tiles from the bathroom floor. We've got an electric space heater going in there right now trying to get the sub floor fully dried so that we can put in ceramic tile.

I'm clean - but I'm not a fanatic such as an earlier post described an SIL. One of my daughter's favorite past times is creating mud puddles and making mud pies!!!! She is rarely sick, and even when she does get sick, she's over it within a day or two.

"a baseboard hot water heating system."

I'm glad you solved your mold problem.

You know, it might be worth it for me to move to a place that had hot water heating - it beats having your nose hurt five months a year. Any other drawbacks (besides the mold)?
