critical amount of dangerous humidity?

This one goes out to the experienced luthiers on this foro! I'd appreciate Your help! So after a longer break I started to play gigs again, and I've been invited to play some background music in a wellness center. It may sound strange yet it was very special experience. My problem is that I supposed to play in a larger place that includes a swimming pool, jakuzzis some sauna and so on....that's goes together with steam.. I took my Case-hygrometer with me, and the humidity went from 66 to even 82%, temp. from 23 to 28C. I know THAT high could be dangerous for my instrument... My question is how dangerous is that? I'ts clear guitars react to the changes of the humidity, but how fast is that happening? Could damage my guitar in any way? The gig took about 3,5 hours, and I didn't notice any changes to the body or the neck, soundwise either. a little more buzzing, looser feeling on strings, but no problem with volume or tone. So I know there are a lot of aspects, and depends on the exact guitar, but to put it this way: Would You take there Your own guitar to play it if You'd been invited to play there regulary (1X every 1-2 weks?)in such circumstances???
