What is air conditioning disease?

Nowadays, white-collar workers in big cities basically need to sit in the office all day long, especially in the summer. Due to the hot weather, most companies will provide air conditioning. If they stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time without going out for exercise, they will easily suffer from air-conditioning disease. The harm of air-conditioning disease is very many, so what is the cause of people suffering from air-conditioning disease?

The main cause of air-conditioning disease is that people stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time. Due to insufficient air humidity in air-conditioned rooms, the harm to human skin is also very great. Next, I will explain other reasons.

Air-conditioning disease occurs because the room is highly sealed, the air circulation is poor, the air volume is small, the windows are not opened for a long time, and there is insufficient sunlight, which makes the humidity and temperature conditions in the room a breeding ground for pathogenic factors, causing various microorganisms such as mold, bacteria, and viruses to multiply and parasitize on bedding, carpets, curtains, and furniture. In such an environment, people are prone to diseases caused by microorganisms because a large number of microorganisms breed there. Also, the temperature is set too low, with a large temperature difference from the outdoor temperature, making it easy to catch a cold when going in and out.

The symptoms of air-conditioning disease mainly include physical lesions caused by alternating hot and cold temperatures, diseases caused by microorganisms, and discomfort in joint circulation that is common in constant temperature cold places. Air-conditioning disease is often a complex disease with several symptoms occurring simultaneously. The main symptoms of air-conditioning disease vary depending on each person's adaptability. The common symptoms include fear of cold, fatigue, soreness of muscles and joints in the limbs, headache, back pain, and severe cases may also cause facial paralysis. The reason is that the vascular and nerve functions of the local ear tissues are disordered, causing spasms of the small arteries located in the stylomastoid foramen, causing primary ischemia of the facial nerves, followed by venous congestion and edema, which in turn compresses the facial nerve, causing the corner of the mouth on the affected side to become crooked.

With the improvement of living standards, modern people have begun to learn to enjoy life, especially in the hot summer, they basically spend time in air-conditioned rooms. However, staying in air-conditioned rooms for a long time can cause great harm to the body. Therefore, if the weather is not particularly hot, it is recommended to use electric fans in the office or living room.
