is it possible to get sick with just a regular fan blowing on you while sleeping?

A fan blowing on you can cause you to get stuffed up and congested but I don't think it can make you sick. Try directing it away from your face and see if it helps. I never have my fan blowing toward my face at night if I can help it. It just makes me get too stuffy.

Yes!  Go see your Doctor!  Sounds like a REALLY bad sinus infection.

Sometimes, when you have a flu, and you blow your nose too many times, you could have a snoozy blood. If that only happen once (just one snoozy blood), I think it's okay. But if that happens often and continuously, you better be careful and I recommend you seeing a doctor.

Yep.  But you've got hired help, so you both could stay in the bed for a few days, wouldn't matter.  (I guess you have a maid, from that question the other night)\n\n**EDIT**\nI was wrong.....\n\nYou would have thought that French kissing a snotty lover was a bad idea on many levels. But contrary to widespread belief, it is very hard to catch a cold by exchanging saliva. In 1984, researchers had the unenviable job of observing hundreds of students snogging. Kissing, they concluded, resulted in no transmission of the cold virus. "The virus travels in the mucus from the respiratory system," explains Professor Ron Eccles, director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University. "Unless you have a bad cough, and some of the respiratory mucus has made its way into your saliva, the cold virus will not be transmitted by kissing."

I know whenever I sleep with a fan on or the window open, that I wake up and my throat burns.

Wouldn't it be icky to have a runny nose in that case?  How would you see while you were blowing....that would pretty much make it impossible to blow while driving or walking wouldn't it?  EEEEEEk!  I don't even want to think of what a sneeze would do or how many extra germs you would get into your eyes...if you snored, would you snort your eyelids up and suffocate????  The logistical problems I can see from this are endless and very amusing!  LOL

I very much doubt it- sounds like you have flu or the like.  It would be best to get checked out by your doctor.

No, it is a theoretical thing. The only thing that is sure is your chance of getting ill increases. You can never prove it was the secondhand smoke, bad diet, drinking. Just that it did not help.

If you have a virus, it can be influenza or a cold. There are hundreds of different types of each. The flu can include congestion, and a cold can include nausea, so it's possible that you can give your flu virus to someone resulting in them experiencing congestion. Some flu viruses are caused by the same strain as strep throat. As a preschool teacher, I used to get strep when others at work got the flu! My doctor told me this. :o)\n\nAll in all, I think that if you have the standard old flu with vomiting, fever, etc. but no congestion, it's not real likely that you gave it to a person who is congested and sneezing but has no other symptoms.

I have always felt people respond to this problem entirely wrong.  People feel sick and they go below deck and lay down.  The only time I started to feel sick on a boat I went to the front of the boat and breathed deeply.  The fresh air took all feelings of sickness away.  I have also heard of ginger, but I thing fresh air works.  I don't really know because I am not prone to sickness, but it makes more sense than going below.

you may be sick, however a high tem doesnt neccessarily mean that you are sick.  i would down some vitamin c and echinacea to ward off that stuff

l would advise you to sleep with neither.\nNatural cross ventilation is best,even in hot climates.Sleepwear should be light and please use mosquito netting for your doors and windows.\nWhile the other answerer is right about dehumidification,certain fungi and micro-orgasnisms thrive in conditioned air,especially in large hotels,like Legionnaire's disease.-this is caused by a bacterium called Legionella  pnuemophilia which thrives in air -conditioning vents.\nFans cause a lot of dust mites  to swirl about,especially in an enclosed space,causing allergic reactions and increased susceptibility to infections.\nSo stay natural -open windows,natural night breezes.

Seems like you got a virus infection, each time you feel cold the virus spreads...no chance to stop it within 24 hrs if its just started... the bad part:\nPhysical stress esp. sports during this period of infection can get you killed (heart infection)\nBe smart and stay in bed...take it as sign, try again next time.\nGet well soon :)

if you get sick then there is not necessarily bacteria but some virus making you sick, you dont get sick just because God thinks its funny and actually the temp and all that dont have anything to do w/it you have to pick up a virus or a "bug" its just that they are more abundant in those settings and   because those settings bring down your immune system also because theres  more work for it to do in the winter time or allergy season.

No, wind is caused since warm ail is less dense than cold air. cold goes to warm, causing wind. If all air was the same temperatureair would sit still unless something moved it (fan etc.)

Yes, sometimes, especially if you are sick already!
