Capsules and relative humidity

[McIrish]

In Ari's long thread, it was mentioned about capsules being drawn to the backplate due to low humidity. I had heard that high humidity can cause noise issue but I never heard about low humidity problems. I've been keeping all my mics in sealed their boxes with desiccant packs. Now, I'm wondeing if I'm doing it wrong. My studio is typically 45% RH. Maybe I just leave out the desiccant packs?

keep your mics in tyvek if your studio is at 45%. that way the moisture from use can evaporate out but it won't get dry enough to damage the capsule. desiccate above 70% rh.

Tyvek? The construction fabric? How would that work? Does it come as small bags? I've only seen it in large rolls to wrap the exterior of a house before siding.
Thatnks for the knowledge and clarifications.
