Air conditioning or not?


Question:
I have been in Cebu for 16 months and managed to catch pneumonia twice.Is it better to sleep with air conditioning or to run fans? Which is better for my health?

Answers:
l would advise you to sleep with neither.
Natural cross ventilation is best,even in hot climates.Sleepwear should be light and please use mosquito netting for your doors and windows.
While the other answerer is right about dehumidification,certain fungi and micro-orgasnisms thrive in conditioned air,especially in large hotels,like Legionnaire's disease.-this is caused by a bacterium called Legionella pnuemophilia which thrives in air -conditioning vents.
Fans cause a lot of dust mites to swirl about,especially in an enclosed space,causing allergic reactions and increased susceptibility to infections.
So stay natural -open windows,natural night breezes.

Other Answers:
AC is better - especially if you have had lung infections - like pneumonia.

The AC will dehumidify the air, and make it much eaiser for yout ot breath. and make it harder for the mold and fungus, and bacteria to live.
