Using air conditioning can have several side effects
Air conditioning removes moisture from the air, which can lead to dry, flaky skin and irritation.
Prolonged exposure to AC can cause respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath
Dirty AC filters can circulate dust, pollen, and other allergens, triggering allergies and asthma symptoms.
The dry air produced by AC can cause discomfort, redness, and itching in the eyes.
Spending a lot of time in air-conditioned environments can lead to dehydration
Sudden changes in temperature and prolonged exposure to cool air can cause tension headaches
If you don't clean air conditioners well, they can collect germs like bacteria and fungi. Breathing in this dirty air can make you more likely to get sick with respiratory infections.
