Really humid where I live, panicked about N

[tryingtoescape]

N is my only way out. Disabled. Not comfortable with Sn or any other method with below %95 certainty. N is the only thing that comforts me, just knowing I have a way out. Without the option, I go into constant fight or flight. It's torture.

It's 70%-80% humid in the northeast right now. I have a humidity meter in my house. I have silica gel packets but it's still so humid, and it gets 95% in September.

I was going to get a mini fridge but I realized fluctuations in humidity would ruin the potency even more, if I'm correct, and if I had to take it out occasionally (let's say the unit was too loud [I have tinnitus] and I moved it in the winter or something, the potency could be even more degraded.

I'm really terrified, all sense of security blanket gone. I have several diseases, my parents I love and rely on for my only support are getting old and sick, I don't have another method. Can someone give me reassurance or share their n situation with me over pm or response here? Thank you

tough one. Depends really how long you plan to store it. I can't see it being degraded much if you plan to use it soon as. However I understand it's used for some people as safety net and stored for potentially decades.

Won't be using it soon. Scared.

I'm in a humid area in the Southeast US. I'm not really too worried about my N, maybe I should be.

If you store your N in an air conditioned home, the humidity won't degrade it as long as you keep it at a steady room temperature. No need to buy a fridge. It's more important to keep the temperature from fluctuating and the bottles away from daylight. A chest of drawers will do nicely. Maybe in a locked box for safety.

You would think that the seal on the bottle would be enough to keep it safe for years.

As I understand it humidity isn't an issue. The environmental factors that create humidity are the problem. A mini fridge would be perfectly fine even if you move it occasionally. You're so overthinking this!

Humidity cannot penetrate the bottle. It is not an issue.

Temperature fluctuations - particularly fast and large ones are the problem. And light of course. With it being a liquid in a glass bottle you should find that it doesn't change temperature that rapidly anyway so just use common sense and you'll be fine. Stop tripping yourself up with paranoia.


You should recheck the source/pph where you said it says humidity is an issue. I suspect you'll find you misinterpreted it. I know it speaks of precipitation which could be assumed to mean condensation however precipitation in relation to chemistry actually means something more akin to sedement speaking in laymans terms. I was a little confused by this myself until I looked it up. If there is no separation or cloudiness in your N it should mean its okay. Get the fridge you mentioned. Even having it on at the lowest setting will keep a steady temperature and won't make a lot of noise. You could also put it in a cooler bag or box and leave it in there undisturbed in decent place.
