Mold can be a problem

I took my Martin into the repair shop not long after Hurricane Ike hit Galveston/Houston - there were a couple of less fortunate dreadnoughts there which were unlucky enough to be in Galveston when sea level rose up to everyone's roof -- now *that's* too much humidity
But Houston's definitely never arid, and I've never noticed a problem with my acoustics.
Yeah, the little silica packs like you get in vitamins (or, rather, in guitar cases).Just re read your post. Do you mean humidifier packs? I don't know of any oisture absorbing packs other than silica gel bags?
NoCan you people stop insulting each other long enough to answer a question?
Use the search function.I own a Wechter Dread. I keep it in it's case. All I want to know is, Are the humidifier packs that are advertised by music equipment retailers worth the money? Do they effectively do the job? Also, I read a guitar tip explaining that you can make your own out of a travel soap dish by wetting a sponge and squeezing out the excess moisture and placing it in the soap dish. You first punch or drill holes in the soap dish and secure the lid with rubber bands. This is an alternative to buying one. It of coarse, is placed in the guitar case.(?).
Thanks.

Is there any danger in using them (aside from eating them)? I can't see it being a problem.... I usually just chuck them out but I'm thinking I'll put a couple in my cases; especially the guitars I use live get exposed to a lot of sweat and beer; while I do clean the actual guitars the next day, the cases sometimes get a bit damp/musty inside.
My LP came with a huge pack from the factory so I'm figuring they can't be all bad, but I do notice the fretboard looks quite dry sometimes (I don't play it too often so it sits in the case 99% of the time, seems like I take it out just to look at and oil the fretboard hehe).
