Could it affect my health?

Question:

everyday at work, it is *freezing*. it's 90 degree's outside, but inside im wrapped up in sweater's and drinking hot tea to keep warm. im at a desk, so i cant move around alot, and my fingers turn blue under my nails sometimes too!.. i wish i was over exaggerating. most people have space heaters and blankets at their desks, but i cant find a space heater in summer at the stores... is this bad for my health? will i get sick more often?

Answers:
Medically it is bacteria and virus' that make you sick. Although temperature extremes can causes stress that will lower your immune system.
I understand about being cold. Is there anyway that you can speak to a boss about how cold it is. It is crazy to think of all the money that is being spent to cool your work and people are using electricity to power heaters also.
Why not dress in layers, try purchasing something called "Cuddle duds" or the generic equivalent. These are soft warm under garments that help hold the heat in. Somewhat like long underwear but not the hard waffle weave of yester year. They have v-neck tanks, crop pants, and you could remove them before going back outside. Layers will help retain heat, but if you get to hot, they can be removed. You could approach it with saving your company money, if they turned up the thermostat they would pay a lower electric bill. Hope I have helped you.

You may get sick more often. Extreme weather changes take a toll on the body. I'm sure you feel it when you go from hot to freezing and back to hot everyday. There's no way to change the temperature in your office? If everyone is freezing, then surely something can be done. . .
