Why do you get sick during winter than the rest of the year?
Because there are more germs? NO. There are fewer germs in the winter than during any other season. there are three ways to kill germs:

When temperature outside is below ZERO all germs have been killed by the cold. Everything outdoors is sterile.
What is the lowest-cost way to lower your heating bills?
When you are feeling chilly, check the indoor humidity level before raising your thermostat setting, raise the humidity level, and you'll feel more comfortable without increasing the heat. At 70°F for every 10% you increase the indoor relative humidity, you increase the "apparent temperature" approximately 1F. For every 1F that you reduce your thermostat setting, you save approximately 5% on your energy consumption. This means with proper humidification, consumers can save 20% to 30% or more on their heating costs on the days and nights of the winter. They can also be healthier and more comfortable, while extending the useful life of their home and furnishings.
Why do floors creak, wooden furniture fall apart, and wallpaper and curtains wear out, even though no one even touches them?

2- Wooden, leather or laminated furniture or counter tops
3- A piano or other wooden musical instruments
4- Hanging tapestries or expensive rugs
5- Sinus problems
6- High heating bills
