Do normal facial masks for sick people work against mold spores?

I have a friend who is sensitive to mold, and there is some kind of mold situation going on at her job. I was wondering if a normal face mask from a drugstore for sick people will do anything to filter out mold spores? would she need a mask designed specifically for mold?








ps- i know wearing a face mask in an environment that is toxic to you is not the best plan of action, but she doesn't have any more sick days and they are working on the mold situation, so it is temporary. she kind of has to go to work but really really should not be inhaling the spores. she's already getting sick.Do normal facial masks for sick people work against mold spores?
you will need a h45 (95?) mask. you can get at any home improvement storeDo normal facial masks for sick people work against mold spores?
Get a N-95 respirator instead. This is better at filtering the tiny mold spores than the normal face mask.





Hope this helps.

What are those masks/veils that people in the desert wear over their faces to protect them from the sand?

I can't seem to find the proper word for them!What are those masks/veils that people in the desert wear over their faces to protect them from the sand?
the first answer is wrong. it is not burkas. they are just face masks that are made of metal to cover their mouths and nose from getting dirt in it but they do not have a specific name to them. burka does not protect from dirt or anything else. it is just a cover. also they are cultural not religious. only hijab is part of islam religion.What are those masks/veils that people in the desert wear over their faces to protect them from the sand?
burka?





and i think its a religious thing....not about sand

Why is the Mexican government handing out the wrong masks?

The surgical masks they are giving to citizens do not protect against swine flu. Only masks with a N95 or better rating protect against swine flu.Why is the Mexican government handing out the wrong masks?
Because the Mexican Government is F'ed upWhy is the Mexican government handing out the wrong masks?
Probably the best they could find and access at the time.
Well, those flimsy little masks won't stop you from breathing in virus particles, but they'll stop you from sneezing them out all over everybody else. It's better than nothing.





Few governments have the money it would take to buy, stockpile, and distribute enough N95 masks for the entire populace. Mexico certainly doesn't have that kind of cash.
They company that makes the correct masks was on siesta break.
population control
because they can i guess mabe they dont know what the hell their doing
LOL! I find it hilarious that there are two people who answered this question ';population control'; .. I was thinking the same thing!!! :)
Population control
mexico city has a population of 22 million. They have enough money for 1 million pills. They don't have the money, they are doing what they can. Mexico isn't a wealthy country.
how do you know they dont have those ratings.
I fear it is too late to stop its spread. The end of the world is near.
because it makes them appear that they are trying to help. N95's are very expensive, and usually only healthcare workers and necessary infrastructure people get them.

  • Why do people who protest Scientology generally wear masks?

    No finger pointing, just want to know whyWhy do people who protest Scientology generally wear masks?
    As evidenced by the above answer, Scientologists will try to discredit and ruin ';enemies'; of their ';church'; in any and all ways, even though lying and character assassination. THAT is why protesters wear masks - they need to be protected against such hostile actions.





    Go ahead and look up a woman named ';Paulette Cooper'; and something called ';Operation Freakout';. Paulette wrote a book called ';The Scandal of Scientology'; a few decades ago and they went after her full force. She was framed by Scientology; they forged bomb threats using her typewriter which had her fingerprints on it. She was indicted by a Federal grand jury and although the charges were dropped years later, one can only imagine the Hell she went through.





    They also sued her for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and when she counter-sued, they painted her name and phone number on street walls, they told her neighbors that she had STD's, and she received death threats.





    I don't think ANYONE wants to end up like Paulette.Why do people who protest Scientology generally wear masks?
    Yeah, I saw them in Minneapolis wearing the 'V' for Vendetta mask. I talked to a couple of them because I couldn't understand why they would be so upset over something like this. According to the people that I spoke to a lot of the protesters have family in the church. They have wittnessed separation from their family because the church of Scientology tells their followers not to engage with any unbelieving family members. They wear their masks because they are afraid their family members who are in the church would have retribution upon them for their familial link to the protestors.
    Dr Zero is right they have an army of well backed lawyers. They also used them to strong arm the government to give them ';religion'; status. This allowed them to avoid taxes and gain even more economic momentum. Anyone who gets in there way will be steamrolled by there ruthless doctrine of self preservation. Anonymity is key in dealing with this cult.
    To intimidate. ';V'; was a terrorist, Anonimous is determined to DESTROY Scientology. Is just a bunch of haters.
    They do not want to be harassed by the cult members... Scientology has always had a habit of targeting their critics with slander and ridicule...
    Cause if they identify you, they will hunt you down, tarnish your reputation, put posters up saying you are a pedophile, etc.
    I think the Psychologists call it paranoid delusion or something like that. Whatever that is where people feel everyone is out to get them You know, metal foil on the heads and things like that.





    But seriously though, it's because this so - important ';mission'; isn't important enough to come out in the open. Guess it's just a game like Final Fantasy or World of Warcraft to them.





    They got their start in 4chan which is a kiddie porn group. I guess that's another reason - don't let the Feds find out their real identities due to their crimes.

    At what age can one start using whitening masks and such?

    well, personally, i do a lot of outdoor sports and stuff and there is very uneven tan on my face. i am thinking of using whitening cream/ mask/ scrub. but i am only 16 and my mum say it may not be good for the skin. is there an appropriate age to use such products?


    also, if i can use them, is there any specific brand or product you can recommend?At what age can one start using whitening masks and such?
    There is some bleaching properties in the whitening products. At your age, you can still have your skin repaired the natural way like the use of plants on your face, facial massages without using chemicals. You need to protect your skin like wearing a cap or using a sun tan lotion. Protect your skin now before it is too late to do anything.At what age can one start using whitening masks and such?
    actually no one should ever start using whitening mask, because in the long run it can damage the skin.
