As a result, many thought, the more frequent and longer use the AC, the better. But they are not. Some experts said that the AC exacerbate the effects of arthritis sufferers (inflammation of the joints) and neuritis (inflammation of the nerves). AC also exacerbate the effects of sinus sufferers. In addition to the easy and quick reaction looks like the above, the AC also have subtle reactions in long-term adverse effect on the health of someone.
