This article is about the creatures. For the 2015 film, see Minions (film). The Minions are small, yellow, cylindrical creatures, who have one or two eyes. They are the signature characters of the Despicable Me series. They bring much of the comedy in the film, and they are known as the scene-stealer of the movie. Frequently, they speak in an incomprehensible language, called Minionese, occasionally switching to English.
Leaving your fan on will not cause a cold/sore throat. A cold is cause by airbourne viruses. I suppose a fan can circulate the air in your room a lot more than normal. Chances are you picked up the virus before going to bed. Viruses tend to have an incubation period of (if memory serves me right) around 48 - 24 hours before showing any symptoms.
This fan is not for people who like wind blow on them. it is a very gentle air circulator. It will make your room cool with AC and i will help the air in the room move but it will not cool you down when you stand in front of it. I bought this item thought it will help to cool the room in addition to the AC.
