Recently, a man in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, fell ill due to the use of an air conditioner that had not been cleaned for a long time at home.
After two days of blowing the air conditioner, he developed a severe cough and gradually lost consciousness and even respiratory failure, and was rushed to the hospital ICU.

After diagnosis, the man was infected with "Legionella pneumophila", which caused a large area of "white lung", multiple damage and cavities in the lungs.
The attending physician said that due to the humid environment inside the air conditioner, it is easy to breed dust and bacteria if it is not used for a long time. It is recommended to ventilate every 3 hours and ensure that the air conditioner is thoroughly cleaned every 3 months.
Long-term non-cleaning of air conditioners not only affects refrigeration, but also induces asthma, bronchitis and other diseases. Experts recommend that air conditioners must be cleaned and disinfected before turning on for the first time every year.
In the comment area, some netizens gave professional advice, for your reference only:
How often is the air conditioner cleaned?
Filter: The filter should be cleaned every two to four weeks to keep out the dust and microorganisms in the air from entering the air conditioning system, keeping the air circulating and preventing clogging.
Heat sink: The heat sink can be cleaned every 6 to 12 months, and if the filter is cleaned frequently, the heat sink can be cleaned more frequently.
Enclosure: The enclosure can be wiped down once every one to two months to keep it clean and enhance the overall aesthetics of the aircon.
Clean the whole process of the air conditioner by yourself and save 200 yuan:
1. Turn off the power of the air conditioner
2. Install the water bag
3. Disassemble the air conditioner filter
4. Spray air conditioner cleaning agent (10-15 minutes)
5. Clean the air conditioner filter
6. Clean the air conditioner with a watering can and a soft brush
7. Wipe dry
8. Replace the strainer to dry
9. Turn on the air conditioner and run for 15 minutes
Netizens were shocked: I didn't expect the consequences of not washing the air conditioner to be so serious
The air conditioner does not have to be washed frequently, this patient is mainly in a closed environment, and the cold is blown directly and then the lungs are infected. The doctor made it clear that ventilation was needed.
This one is a bit scary!! Fortunately, my air conditioner cleaned the filter early this year, in a word, people still can't be too lazy!!
No wonder I coughed easily when I turned on the air conditioner in the summer, so I went to wash the air conditioner
God, when I think about my air conditioner after I bought it, I haven't washed it, no wonder my lung capacity plummeted, and I was so scared that I immediately got out of bed and found someone to clean it...
Warm reminder to everyone, the air conditioner is so healthy and comfortable:
1. 26°C is the most suitable in summer.
2. The air conditioner wind blows upwards. Avoid cold winds blowing directly on your body, and stand up from time to time to move.
3. Open a meeting window every 1 hour, about 15 minutes each time, to protect the respiratory tract.
4. Just enter the house, turn on the air conditioner after 10 minutes. Be sure to turn off the air conditioner before going to bed, or set a timer to turn it off.
