Nuts, whacko, insane, deranged, mentally unhinged.

Similar to those that thought automobiles would be the death of people due to air moving too quickly.

I can’t possibly sleep without a fan. I find 70 degrees to be unpleasantly hot.

[Old Sarge]

The Bride and I have ceiling fans in every room, and a floor fan constantly on, in addition to the A/C.

I call BS.

“If you fall asleep with it going, you’ll die the next day,”

This is going to be bad news to Texans...

And then, there's this

[Batman11]

Hold on a second, I have to turn the fan up. .......Ok, what a crock of crap this article is!!

We have an electric fan over our bed. My wife likes the breeze and we leave it on every night. We have for years.

Of course, I should point out that I’m posting this from beyond the grave. We just got wi-fi last week!

[SamAdams76]

I’ve had ceiling fans over my bed for 30 years. I don’t remember every having it completely off. We reverse the rotation each fall and spring.

Rose Kang describes that whenever a ceiling fan starts to spin, she vomits.

Must be a lot of fun at parties.

Most Texans would be dead if we turned off the AC, so we’ll take our chances, leaving our AC units running full blast from May to November.

I grew up in the south, in the 50s, without air conditioning. I was forced to sleep with a fan running. I hated it. To this day I cannot stand having a fan going when I sleep. On the rare occasion when I have to I won’t let the flow of air come anywhere near me. Just my own personal phobia.

In ‘Nam, the barracks were not air conditioned. I worked a night shift and had to sleep during the day. To be able to sleep, I placed a window fan at the foot of my bed blasting on me. I guess I’m lucky I survived.

>> Rose Kang describes that whenever a ceiling fan starts to spin, she vomits.

Interesting.

Earlier in my depraved life I occasionally had the same problem, but with furniture.

Whenever the bed would start to spin, I’d vomit soon after.

Usually happened late at night after parties.

The WMD of fans

[ThunderSleeps]

So these guys are blaming fans for deaths and offer up several examples. Gee, you don't think maybe the one guy died of alcohol poisoning and there just happened to be a fan there? Or that people who died of dehydration in heat waves did that because the heat wave dehydrated them and they happened to be using a fan to try to cool down?

The notion that closing a room and using AC could cause suffocation is silly. Do the math. Google volume of air per day - about 11,000 liters. Now convert that to cubic feet, about 388. Now realize that even a modest sized bedroom is say 10x10 ft with 7 ft ceilings. That's 700 cubic feet. Yes, subtract a little for furniture etc. You still have more than enough air in the room for an entire day, not just sleeping overnight. Also, the air you breath in is roughly 20% oxygen. The air you exhale back out is roughly 15%. You only get about 1/4 of the oxygen out of the air. (this is part of why CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation works)

While I consider the whole article to be a huge load what really got me was when they said this(followed by sunburns among children left inside cars). I mean really they died from sunburn after being left inside of a car. Hmmm I don't think sunburn was the cause.

[I want the USA back]

Somebody escaped from the loony bin.

[bigbob]

Same people who get headaches from power lines and hear AM radio via their fillings.

[thackney]

In South Korea, newspapers and a government agency report that the air blowing from an electric fan can cause death. “If you fall asleep with it going, you’ll die the next day,

Wow, I must be immortal. I've fallen asleep with the fan a few feet away and blowing directly on me for decades.
