[quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - my husband just reminded me that we recently got a humidifier installed in our basement. Could that be it?[/quote]

I think this is probably a misunderstanding. [/quote]

Whoops I misstated it. It’s a humidifier attached to an HVAC system installed in a basement furnace room.[/quote]

Have you had an HVAC company check the humidifier? Could have mold/mildew.

[b]I am surprised you have an HVAC humidifier if you live in the DC area as it's not dry here.[/b] [/quote]

Disagree, ours is on all winter when the house is warm and dry.  [/quote]

My parents have one and it’s so wild to me. All winter it feels like stepping into a greenhouse. But it is very comfortable once you get over the contrast.

OP that’s certainly something to look at. Although like my air handler in the basement has a pump for the condensation to get it over to the drain, and that definitely has gunk in it, but I don’t smell it. It’s just inside the little tube. [/quote]
