Is it possible to be allergic to air conditioning?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Not from the air conditioning itself, but maybe allergens that are being blown around by your a/c in the ductwork or in the house.

No: Cold air can cause nasal symptoms just due to the cold and humidity. It is more likely that there might be significant dust, mold, or animal danders causing the allergy symptoms you are experiencing.
