I’m staggered that pretty much every person in South Korea believes that leaving a fan blowing across your body while sleeping will probably kill you from hypothermia and loss of water.
It sounds entirely insane, yet it was actually the subject of a consumer safety alert from the Korea Consumer Protection Board back in 2006. There is no other country on earth where this has been reported, but apparently the dreaded “death by soft breeze” has been widely reported in Korea in the media and other agencies in South Korea.
That’s so strange …
