I've noticed that too, although I think I tend to shed hair more in the
summer than in the winter, or when I'm under stress (are your people under
more stress these days perhaps??). But I have also noticed also that my
nail growth slows down significantly in the winter - I like to keep them as
trim as possible and definitely have to cut them less in winter.

The hair loss may be a normal seasonal event, similar to when cats shed
their coat in the spring and summer. Did you know that our nails stop
growing in the darker months? Instead of having a manicure every two
weeks, as in the spring and summer, I get one every three weeks in the
winter months. Hair loss will cycle and grow back every three
months or so. Perhaps everyone has just now been made aware?

Don't think I'm nuts, but I wouldn't be responding to my employees if I
didn't at least ask the question. During the last couple of months
several of my employees have noticed that they have been loosing more
hair then usual. They are somewhat convinced that it is an environmental
issue. I told them I didn't know of anything in the air here that would
cause this. The only thing we have noticed is that the humidity levels
in the lab have dropped dramatically in the last month or so. We are
required to measure our humidity for an inspection and have noticed that
the monitors all say "Lo", which indicates that the humidity levels have
dropped below 20% relative humidity. Obviously that can cause dry skin,
etc. My first thought was it's just our age, but we have a wide range of
ages that have complained. Has anybody had these kind of complaints
before and does anybody have an idea whether low humidity can cause
similar problems? I have also asked our engineering department and human
resource department to look into this.
