      exposed skin let eczema “Take advantage of the situation”

      It turns out that many air conditioners have not been used for a long time, and a large amount of dust, mold, etc. has been absorbed on the filter. As the cold air from the air conditioner blows into the room, it attaches to human skin or is inhaled into the body. In addition, many indoor environments are closed and the air is not circulated, which greatly increases the chance of inducing eczema. In addition, long-term cooling by air conditioners will produce a large amount of condensation water, making the air drier and drier. We wear less clothes and most of our skin is exposed, which accelerates water loss and becomes another main reason for the recurrence of eczema.  Joints and stomach are susceptible to cold

      Young people often don't pay much attention to joint pain caused by air conditioning, but they often suffer from various problems when air conditioning is used. In summer, the outdoor air is scorching, and people generally wear less. However, the indoor air conditioner blows hard, and the clothes are so thin. Such a low temperature environment will stimulate sharp contraction of blood vessels and poor blood circulation, leading to joint damage, coldness, and pain. Stiff necks and backs, pain in the waist and limbs, and cold and numb hands and feet are common reactions. In addition, being too "cold" in the house can easily lead to weakened gastrointestinal motility. In addition, in summer, people are greedy for cold and often eat cold drinks. The "cold" controls both the inside and outside of the intestines. It is not surprising that many people have diarrhea and vomiting.

      Beware of blowing your neck

      If you stay in an air-conditioned environment for a long time and the cold wind blows frequently, many "crooked necks" and "hunched waists" will occur. Experts point out that white-collar workers work with their heads down at their desks or surf the Internet in one posture for a long time, which causes the cervical spine to be in a flexed position for a long time. In addition, when working in an office building, wearing little clothing and suddenly encountering a cold, the joints are easily damaged by "cold". Old problems in the cervical spine, shoulders, and lumbar spine are more likely to be triggered at this time. Therefore, when the air conditioner is turned on, if you do not pay attention to keeping your head, neck, shoulders, etc. warm, it is easy to cause cervical, shoulder, and lumbar spondylosis.

      The respiratory tract is the most "fragile"”

      The respiratory tract is the most fragile. Once the air-conditioning breaks through the fragile "defense line" of the respiratory tract, it can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe. cough , sneezing, runny nose, etc. cold Symptoms of upper respiratory tract disease ; Experts say the more serious lower respiratory tract disease caused by air conditioning is pneumonia. Experts point out that especially when working and studying under central air conditioning, central air conditioning is very suitable for the spread of Legionella. The incubation period is about 2-12 days. Although there is no upper respiratory tract reaction, fever, cold sensitivity, muscle aches, dry cough, no phlegm or little phlegm will continue if not treated in time. fever , dry cough, chills, and in severe cases, death due to respiratory failure.
