A member asked:

Is it bad for your health to heat up only one room in a home with the door closed. does this thing cause flu?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No it does not cause flu. If you are comfortable in heating only the room you are occupying, that is fine. Flu is caused by a virus. Get a vaccine for Flu.

Not flu, but accumulation of gas that might become toxic if room not well ventilated. It might be saving lots of money with the abrupt increase in prices.
