What's a Humidifier?
Humidifier
Say: hyoo-MIH-deh-fy-er
If you get nosebleeds a lot or your nose often feels dry, it may be time to get a humidifier. A humidifier is a machine that makes the air around you a little wetter, so your nose and skin don't dry out as much. It gets filled with water, then pumps out a mist of moist air.
