Question:
Why does having a fan on make me sick?
Whether its a window fan, or a standing interior fan, or a ceiling fan, I always end up with an earache or a stuffy nose or a sore throat.. or all three. WHY? I am only allergic to dust and mold, and my house is clean.. so what is it about the fan that makes me feel sick?
Answers:
No matter what there is always dust in the air. And the fact is the fan blows it down on you, and you breathe it in. And what probably happens is, your nose gets stuffy first, so then your body breathes through your mouth and you throat gets irritated. But , one thing that could reduce the amount of pollen and allergens in the air, is to get a really good air conditioning filter, look for merv 11 or higher, it helped my sinuses tremendously. Good luck, you could also ask your doctor if you might wanna be on zyrtec or something.
