The Hidden Health Risks of Electric Fans: Allergies, Eye Dryness, and Muscle Pain

2023-06-24 15:01:00

The fan is one of the basic devices in every home, and everyone resorts to using it during the summer, especially while sleeping at night, to help a peaceful sleep

According to the “Express” website, the fan and various cooling devices are a double-edged sword, as they are an effective way to regulate your temperature at night and at the same time expose you to some health problems.

Sleep expert Martin Seeley said that the electric fan does more harm than good and makes humans more vulnerable to 3 health problems, namely:

Allergies and asthma

The funnel as it spins spreads dust, germs, pollen and other allergens in the room and if you find yourself getting excessive sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy throat and difficulty breathing, look for dust in the bedroom, on the bed in it and on the electric fan blades.

The extra wind from an electric fan can dry out your nose and throat, causing your body to produce more mucus. The solution is to keep drinking water.

Eye dryness and inflammation

Not only does excessive wind from a fan dry out your nose and throat, it also dries out your eyes, which leads to irritation, and this is even more important for contact lens wearers.

Dry Eye

Neck stiffness and muscle pain

When directing the fan to muscle areas all night, muscle pain occurs because the concentrated cold air makes your muscles spasm, which causes pain and stiffness in the neck.
