Can my fan heater dry out my throat?

Post Reply New Topic

Figured if anyone knew it would be someone on here.

Can a science expert/someone whose specialist interest is science answer this please.

Every winter, I use a fan heater. Every winter I get a dry throat. They happen around the same time.

Is this causation (the fan heater causing dry air and drying out my throat) or just correlation (it's winter so I use a fan heater and my throat dries out because it's winter)?

Basically, is someone who uses a fan heater more likely to have a dry throat than someone who uses central heating or other methods to keep warm?

A fan heater does dry the air out. Bottled gas heaters have the opposite effect and cause moisture.
