WHAT IS AIR CONDITIONING STRIKE?

With the arrival of the summer months, people who are overwhelmed by the heat are trying to cool off through air conditioning. Air conditioning is a life-saving invention in extremely hot weather.

However, if not taken care of, the air conditioner can touch and lead to diseases such as colds, upper respiratory infections, colds and flu.

With the increase in air conditioning-related diseases, a new idiom called air conditioning shock has entered the literature. Air conditioner shock is not a disease name. It is a condition that causes disease.
