This article from the HVACR Career website in New York has some helpful information about buildings and humidity levels which are either too high or too low. From the article's section on humidity levels being too high, it reads:
"What happens when indoor humidity is too high?
High humidity slows the evaporation of sweat from the skin, which is how we regulate body temperature. When sweat does not evaporate as readily, we feel more hot and sticky than we do when the air is drier, even when the temperature is the same.
Yet feeling too hot is only one effect of high humidity. Here’s what else can happen as relative humidity levels rise:
Heat-related illnesses, including heat rash, muscle cramps, heat exhaustion and even heat stroke
Growth of mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens
Bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory infections can more easily multiply and spread in high humidity
Musty odors can linger in the space
Increased levels of VOCs, ozone, and other pollutants
Damage to building structures and finishes from moist air and condensation"
