Post subject: | Korean "fan death" |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_mis ... and_health Wikipedia wrote: In Korea, it is commonly believed that sleeping in a closed room with an electric fan running can be fatal in the summer. According to the Korean government, "In some cases, a fan turned on too long can cause death from suffocation, hypothermia, or fire from overheating." The Korea Consumer Protection Board issued a consumer safety alert recommending that electric fans be set on timers, direction changed and doors left open. Belief in fan death is common even among knowledgeable medical professionals in Korea. According to Dr. Yeon Dong-su, dean of Kwandong University's medical school, "If it is completely sealed, then in the current of an electric fan, the temperature can drop low enough to cause a person to die of hypothermia."[76][77][78][79] I'm never using a fan again. |

Watch where you're walking, if you step on a crack you'll break your mother's back. |

In a hot tall room it can cause a convection current that can cause the lower sleeping area's temperature to rise causing heat related death but thats very rare. |
