Does anybody know of a fan allergy - i.e. coughing and wheezing when a fan is blowing on you??
Answers: Yes. It's not an allergy to the fan, it's because the fan is stirring up the allergy particles, dust, dirt, etc. I suffered from this for years till my Dr. told me to stop sleeping with a fan running. It aggravates allergies.
I don't Know about a fan allergy but maybe you're sick or too cold when the fan goes on
it's not a fan allergy, it's the fan blowing dust, pollen , and other allergens on you.
No, but it could be all the dust and junk floating around the room you have it in. Sometimes I wake up with sore throats, and watery eyes and sneezing and such.
Yes, but it's more of the pollen and or dust particles the fan is swirling around in the air you breathe. Fans near plants, those near dusty areas need to be adjusted and hopefully that will assist with the problem.
No i don't believe it is the fan. the problem is what the fan is blowing at you,that is what you are allergic to IE:pet dander, pollen etc
You aren't allergic to the fan, but to the stuff that is in the air that is blowing on you. where is the air coming from? Is the room dusty that you are in, or are the fan blades dusty/dirty? All this factors in. does it happen with every fan you encounter or only certain one/ones? I have never heard of a fan allegy, it is most likely allergens in the air that the fan sends to you, either from the air around you or when the air goes through the blades
yes, but it's not due to the fan really, it's due to the dust that collects on it...if you've ever seen a fan that's been running off and on for about a year, it has a huge buildup of dust on the back of the fan....what happens when this builds up alot, as the dust collects, it also breaks off the fan and begins to disperse in the air in higher quantities than if the fan were clean or there were no fan at all...if the fan is fairly clean, there could just be a high level of dust in the area and the fan is kicking it up....i'm going to go out on the limb and say you're allergic to dust and or pollin right?
You're not allergic to the fan. It's probably the dust or pollen that it is blowing on you.
I know the same thing happens to me when ,my celling fan is on it is just plain dust and my doctor told me to dust everyday or change your furnace filter alot.
When allergy sufferers clean properly, they can manage their indoor air quality, and lessen the nasal congestion, coughing, sneezing, headaches and severe, flu-like symptoms they often experience, Mike Tringale, AAFA director of marketing and communications, said in a prepared statement.
As part of National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month in May, the AAFA wants to emphasize the importance of using the most appropriate and effective cleaning methods to reduce common indoor allergy triggers such as dust mites and pet dander. These include:
Maintaining the humidity of your home below 50 percent.
Vacuuming regularly with a double-bag or HEPA vacuum cleaner.
Keeping pets off the furniture.
Bathing cats and dogs every week.
Encasing mattresses and pillows in airtight, allergen-proof covers.
Washing bed linens in hot water once a week.
Restricting cleaning to just sweeping floors can actually make allergies worse, the experts warn, because it may stir up pet dander and dust mites.
Household mold is another common indoor allergy trigger. To manage this allergen, the AAFA recommends that you:
Run the air conditioner during humid months.
Fix leaky pipes to limit moisture in the home.
Use exhaust fans to increase kitchen and bathroom ventilation.
Clean and kill mold spores on hard, non-porous surfaces with an EPA-registered cleaning solution that contains low concentrations of bleach.
Remove moldy soft surfaces immediately.
