When I get sick with the flu or a general virus, I can get pretty grumpy like anyone else would.
However, with me, unlike a lot of others, when I am really seriously sick, I can not stand to have any kind of heating or air conditioning running as it gets me even more sick feeling! If it is the winter time and I get sick, I turn off my central heating system and go grab my space heater to give myself to warmth and heat that I need.
Something about the heat from a space heater instead of using central heating keeps me feeling relaxed and does not in any way get me sicker. If it is summer and I get sick, there is no worries there. I just turn off the central air conditioning system and use a fan on the low setting to make it cool enough that I don’t get too hot. Our summers are pretty mild, so I can deal with just the fan when I am sick. There is just something about the type of air that comes out of a central heating and air conditioning system that makes me more sick when I have a flu or virus. Maybe it is because it is so dry, or maybe it is because it is not natural air. I really have never figured it all out. All I know is, when I am sick, get rid of the central HVAC system unless you want me to get sicker! Someday, maybe I will figure out what is going on with me and the central HVAC issues when sick.
