Not good to be in air conditioning for long? I am not sure. But people say that it happens to be bad if you stay for long in a cool environment and after that if you have to go again in sun. so it just increase and decrease the temperature. Which is not good for health. What you say and suggest in this regard.

I think it depends on how extreme it is. I've been in places where the air conditioning made it feel like winter! I don't keep it cold in my house, but a little cooler than outside air temperatures when it's hot. I can understand it not being good for you to go from a cold room to a hot outdoors, but I think just a little cooler to hot won't hurt. I use room air conditioners so only the room I'm in is cooled and I think that's better for us than living in such a controlled environment all the time.

your right is not good for your health but if you have a job to do and that is what is required you have to go with the flow.

I know that it makes the skin feels very dry...but in the long term, I don't know what the side effects are.

Hello, I do not sit in A.C. room for long. Recently, The weather being very hot in our area, I started switching on AC in the car even if I had to travel for short distance. The result was, first I got cold, which turned into bad cough and ultimately I suffered from very severe asthma attack due to which I was on bed for five days Since then, I hv stopped using AC in the car. At home I sometimes use AC, but that too for 1-2 hours. I hv realised that from AC room or car going immediately to hot weather outside will definitely harm our body.

getting exposed to hot weather immediately coming from cool weather can get you ill. Not hazardous ill but you can catch common cold or fever. thats it. I generally don't prefer sleeping in ac as it makes me really lazy when i wake up...
