However, this decreases the flow of white blood cells that protect the body against viruses, making our body more vulnerable to illness. The dry environments caused by AC evaporate the moisture found in the nose lining, making it susceptible to infection. Furthermore, long exposure to AC often causes the skin to lose moisture and become unpleasantly dry. It’s advised not to run your AC at low temperatures, especially if the AC is intended to run for many hours. The colder the environment gets, the more favorable it becomes for cold- and cough-causing bacteria to multiply. To control dryness, keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of water. Also, use moisturizer if your skin is sensitive to losing moisture in an air-conditioned environment. Increased Visits to the Doctor
