What can people do to avoid air-conditioning disease in summer?

What is air conditioning disease? Symptoms of air-conditioning disease are similar to those of a cold

Air-conditioning disease is medically known as "air-conditioning syndrome". The air in an air-conditioned room is dry and the air circulation is poor. If people stay in such an environment for a long time, they are prone to problems such as dry eyes, dry lips, and skin allergies. In addition, the air-conditioned room is highly sealed, which easily leads to the breeding of pathogenic bacteria. Coupled with the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, if the body does not adapt well, people are prone to cold-like physical symptoms such as nasal congestion, dizziness, sneezing, tinnitus, fatigue, memory loss, and sore muscles and joints in the limbs.

4 types of people are most likely to suffer from air-conditioning disease

White-collar workers who often stay in air-conditioned rooms to work are the group most likely to be "afflicted" by air-conditioning disease. White-collar workers stay in air-conditioned rooms all day and do not sweat much, which will lead to disorders in the body's regulation and immune functions, and then induce air-conditioning disease. In addition, people who are tired and weak, the elderly, and young children are also easily "favored" by air-conditioning disease due to their weak resistance.
