Will sleeping under a ceiling fan promote allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ceiling fan &allergy: I'm not sure i understand your question completely but high volume air circulation can exacerbate your nasal and asthma symptoms by drying out your upper airway mucus membrane, thus it becomes easily irritated.
