Shocked by the fan usage habits that are "eroding" your health every day

Let the fan blow directly on the person

This is the most common habit, but also the most dangerous habit. When the fan blows directly on the body, the skin and muscles will quickly lose water, leading to dry skin, cracking, and even muscle spasms. In addition, letting the fan blow directly on the body can also cause respiratory diseases such as sore throat, rhinitis, flu, etc.

Use fans in closed rooms

When using a fan in a closed room, the air in the room will not circulate, leading to a lack of oxygen. This can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even fainting. The constant airflow from the fan can cause dry eyes and eye strain, especially in children.

Using a fan in a closed room also makes it easy for bacteria and mold to grow, affecting health, especially the respiratory system. In a closed room, the noise from the fan will resonate, making the sound louder and causing discomfort, affecting sleep.

Turn on the fan continuously

When the fan is turned on too high, the strong wind can cause the body to lose water quickly, causing dry skin, headaches, and even airsickness. In a closed room, using a fan with too high a wind speed can cause the air to circulate only in a small range, not effectively cooling the entire room.

Strong winds from fans can blow dust and bacteria into the body, causing respiratory irritation, leading to sore throats, coughs and other respiratory diseases. Prolonged exposure to strong winds can cause muscle spasms, leading to muscle aches, especially in the neck and shoulder areas.

Using too old fan

Over time, electrical components inside the fan such as wires, motors, capacitors... can age, leak electricity or be damaged, leading to the risk of fire, endangering users and property.

After a period of use, the plastic fan shell can crack, exposing internal parts such as fan blades, motors, etc., making it easy for users to get an electric shock if they accidentally touch it. Old fans often make loud noises due to worn, vibrating internal parts, affecting hearing and causing discomfort to users.

Not cleaning the fan regularly

Fans are devices that are constantly exposed to the air, easily accumulating dust, bacteria, and mold. When the fan is operating, these harmful agents will be blown into the air, affecting the respiratory system, especially for children and the elderly, easily causing diseases such as sore throat, cough, allergies, asthma...

Dust on the fan can cause skin irritation, leading to skin diseases such as acne, atopic dermatitis... In some cases, dust on the fan blades and motor can reduce cooling capacity, causing the motor to overload, generate high heat, leading to the risk of fire and explosion.
