Yes, if you aren't careful, the moisture can cause wood, walls, or papers to mold too.

If it's too bad, you can get a dehumidifier, they aren't too expensive, esp. if you get the kind that you just empty out the container every day or two instead of the ones with the attached drainage pipe.

I live in a dry area, so I've never had a problem with humidity. Sometimes in the winter, I get a condensation build up on the window, but if I open up the windows a crack, it lets the extra humidity out.

You could try cracking a window (if you aren't running the AC). Of course, I suppose this wouldn't work if you live in an area where it's even more humid outside o.O

But yeah, a humidifier would do the trick :)
