Okay, so here's the backstory:
Living on a tropical island has a few downsides, the biggest being the intense heat and humidity. Our house averages 80-85% even with the expensive dehumidifier that Loren bought. (The air is even heavier outside -- I never knew it was possible to have 100% humidity without rain.)
That warm, wet environment is a cozy breeding ground for various types of mold. Seriously. That shit grows like crazy.
Rather than let our house turn into a white, fuzzy, humid cave, Loren has taken our mold issue as a challenge. He's actually started referring to it as a full-blown war. He purchased the aforementioned humidifier, and we have moisture-absorbing pellets strategically positioned around the house. Loren wields his bottle of Tilex like a damn flamethrower.
I'm sure this will be good prep in case we ever wind up in Georgia or Alabama. Ugh.
A colleague just told me today that her stepdaughter and the daughter's Marine husband moved back on base in okinawa because mold problems were even worse off base. Good thing Loren is OCD about this. Spores beware!
