Doctors warn that prolonged AC use in summer can increase risks of dry skin and asthma attacks.

Doctors warn that prolonged use of air conditioning in summer can raise risks of dry skin and asthma attacks. With the rise in urban regions and income growth, more people are using ACs to protect from heat. The cooling mechanism of ACs reduces humidity, potentially causing health hazards such as dry skin, headaches, respiratory issues, infections, and sensitivity to odours.
