Could a fan in the bedroom circulate the dust and cause me to get sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If your room is very dusty then the fan could stir things up and cause your allergies to get worse. Keep dust to a minimal, sweep, vacuum regularly. Fresh air is good though and all the closed windows, air conditioning, and dry recycled air that most people experience is not good.
