Apparently it gets so hot snd humid in Korea that if you sleep with a fan on you you will die. I don't understand why but I've read a few research reports showing that it is true. In extreme circumstances fans can cause you to overheat.
If the air temperature is above body temp and the humidity is high enough that evaporative cooling from your sweat is ineffective... then you would be gaining heat from the air movement.
That said, I'm not sure how often the temp is 100°+ and the humidity is 95%+...
I hate to be "that guy" (oh, who am I kidding, I love being "that guy." Tremble at my profound knowledge of pedantic minutia) but a 2015 Yale study found that chilly noses are actually perfect breeding grounds for rhinoviruses, and that keeping your schnoz warm inhibits viral replication.
Cold air makes your nose run and sneezing helps with the propagation, but only if you have a cold to start with. Eskimos who live in remote villages never get cold because no one has one to give it to them and infect The Village even if their noses are always running and they're always wiping it. If you lived alone on an island, no matter how cold it got, you would never get a cold.
And remember, Yale also said to stay indoors and wear a mask...
"I caught a cold because i forgot my scarf and it was chilly"... that urban legend still lives in elderly people.
Korea: fans used to circulate air chop atoms apart and can lead to asphyxiation and cannot be used for more than a few hours without causing death.
Japan: I went outside in the rain for 30 minutes and now I have a deathly fever that requires a suppository
The Korea one is so stupid, just open a window and you can run the fan all day because you have a fresh supply of non chopped up air atoms.
I mean, if fans were actually splitting atoms, I think people would know it.
Or necessitates taking a bath in the house of your childhood best friend so that misunderstandings can happen.
I married a Korean so I heard that one a lot.

Perhaps if you're dehydrated, . No sweat, no evap, fan can warm you.
wouldn't korea's belief cause an explosion?
Still more believable than masks working
We need more "Alexs"(from the OP) and less Karens.
