What Causes “Air Conditioning Sickness?”
What Can I Do to Avoid It?

Content: A few different things happen when you do this. For one, cold-causing viruses spread. According to WebMD, these viruses survive best in the low-humidity, cold environment created by an air conditioner set on an extremely low temperature. Ultra-cold temperatures also cause the arteries in the skin to constrict to protect the body from heat loss. This decreases the flow of blood, including the white blood cells that safeguard the body against viruses, making the body more susceptible to illness. Finally, ultra-dry environments evaporate the moisture found in the lining of the nose, making it more susceptible to infection. Living and working in a very cold environment can also produce long-term shivering that gives you headaches, makes you tired and causes sore muscles and joints. What Can I Do to Avoid It? The first thing you can do to protect yourself from air conditioning sickness is to clear your home or office of any mold, mildew, or other allergins that are already present. After you have done so, prevent the growth of additional mold or mildew by addressing the cause of the moisture in your home.
