Also surgical masks trap heat and moisture from your breath and once your mask becomes moist or wet it is no longer effective. You should only wear surgical masks approved by the FDA that are fluid resistant and offer protection against large droplets, splashes, or sprays of bodily or other hazardous fluids.
Did you know? You can check to see if your surgical mask is a good quality by putting it on, lighting a lighter and trying to blow out the flame. If you can blow out the flame through your mask, then it is poorly made.
Did you know? Currently a lot of masks that are being made in China are being recalled due to poor quality control.
As per the CDC, if an N95 mask is unavailable the 2nd best option is to take a brand new and clean vacuum cleaner bag or Hepa filter and repurpose it. 3M manufactures Hepa filters with a strength of 1900 filtration. 3M 1900 filters out VIRUSES, BACTERIA, DUST and AIR POLLUTION, AND LARGE AIRBORNE PARTICLES. 1 filter last 8 hours
