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.

    Some good ingredients that you can use include honey, oatmeal, egg and banana. Take about 2 to 3 table spoons of honey a half cup oat meal 1 egg and about half a banana. It works so good I tried it with my friends. Also if you really don't want to make it they sell little 99 cent single packs of face mask at places like target. Some times a pack even works on 2 people.What are some good face masks i can make at home that's cheap to make?

    Bavarian Motor Works - BMW (yes the car maker) made them.





    BF Goodrich (who makes tires now) made US gas masks during that time.





    A lot of companies made many items that you wouldn't think of.Who made german gas masks during world war 2?
    It probably stands for Bavarian Motor Works as in BMW cars. Heck, Ford Motor Company made ships for the Navy in World War One.

    It's ok if you aren't drying out or damaging your skin in some way.Is it bad to do two masks a day?
    no i wouldnt think so..


    unless it said not to on the package/bottle w/e.
    if its the same mask, you should be fine. but if it is strong. then it might irritate your skin. if its an exfolite. i dont recommend it, same with a peel or an acidy one.
    That would depend on how the mask I do a mild one, the Great Mystery, from Philosophy once a day because it's intended for once a day use. Actually, using a mask more than once a day wouldn't be of any benefit to you, it might not do any harm but it wouldn't help either.
    no its too harsh for skin... masks should only be used once or twice a week... if you use to often it wil make your skin worse
    well, i dont think so. but you hould make sure you do it really early then right before you go to bed.

    steam your face very carefully over a pan of steaming water with a peppermint teabag in the water--this opens up the pores then use a mask (mixture of oatmeal and honey) to draw out the clogged pores and very gently use a wet washcloth to sloff off the dead skin...follow up with a very light coat of olive oil to condition your skinWhat some easy to make facial masks? **10 points**?
    I read that the most effective and favorite at home face mask would be honey. Its easy, wont dry out your skin, and very helpful. You can either put it straight on your face or heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave. Keep it on approximately 10 mins and you can use it as often as you want because it wont irritate your skin. Best of luck!! :-)

    Do you see people wearing surgical masks because of swine flu, around where you live?

    I don't, thank god. People seem to have common sense where I live. Swine flu is media hype all the way.Do you see people wearing surgical masks because of swine flu, around where you live?
    I know! I haven't seen anyone in a mask yet thankfully... and didn't they change the name?





    Edit: Yes I read it's the ';2009 H1N1 virus'; that sounds scarier than the swine flu.


    I tried to use that excuse to get out of my midterms...didn't work, should've brought the mask.Do you see people wearing surgical masks because of swine flu, around where you live?
    I live in Manila where people often wear surgical masks to filter out car pollution and many other respiratory concerns - but I have not seen any more of it lately.





    But why do you say swine flu is media hype? This is now a phase 4 transmission (ie people are catching it from people) and cases have been discovered as far away as New Zealand. It has crossed the entire continent of North America with cases in Canada, 5 states of the USA and 19 states of Mexico with as many as 60% of those living at the suspected source being infected.


    The situation warrants extreme attention.





    http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090429/twl鈥?/a>
    Swine flu is not media hype. It is a fact. However, I agree with what I think you mean to say - that it is being overhyped (primarily by the media).





    As for surgical masks, they provide absolutely no protection from breathing in the flu virus! They are best used on people who are infected. They help block oral secretions from being spread due to coughing, sneezing, etc.





    The only masks which provide some form of protection from viurses, including the swine flu virus, are HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Airfilter) masks. These type of masks typically filter down to .03 microns - enough to capture the virus within the mask and prevent it from entering an uninfected respiratory tract.





    The best prevention technique is frequent hand washing.





    Treatment protocol includes the anti-viral medication ';Tamiflu';.





    There is no reason for widespread panic. Simple diligence, good hygeine, and common sense will help stamp out the spread of this virus.
    Well, I live in San Francisco, CA, and I have only seen one person wear one (MUNI bus driver). Although, there IS a teacher at my high school with the disease, so I technically feel unsafe ^^;





    And well, it may seemed very much like a media hype, but it's not bad to be cautious about it, seeing as how it's also flu season too.
    Over hyped and overdone....playing on people fears and oh thanks media for freaking everyone out.





    Quit comparing this to the Spanish Flu.....that was nearly 100 years ago....Medicine is much better now.





    What happened to the big SARS or the Malaria epidemic in the U.S.?? Exactly..... Their gone!!
    I haven't seen anyone in my area wearing masks, which I found odd because my state is one of the states with many confirmed cases and many closed schools. I was even in NYC a few days ago and could count on one hand the amount of people I saw wearing masks. I'm kind of surprised, but I'm glad people aren't overreacting.
    BARRACUDA! We agree on something AT LAST. Welcome home, buddy. (High five)





    I live roughly 30 miles from the border as the crow flies, and not a single surgical mask here. People are just going on about their day. As long as you don't turn on the news, there's no reason to panic.





    Sheppard Smith did a great job of being hysterical on Fox News today, but it still didn't sway me.





    Hell, last year at this time, it was the West Nile Virus that was going to kill us all.
    I live in the Philippines and so far i haven't seen anyone wearing masks because of the flu, not considering those in the airports monitoring temperatures of the passengers and some doctors around airports and hospitals

    No in New Zealand people know it is their but everyone who has susspected to have it is locked in doors and ya... so im safe and NZs safe!
    Yeah, see lots of people wearing them, mainly Asians for whatever reason
    not here either, but there is alot of talk about buying surgical masks and not touching doornobs
    Maybe we should purchase stocks on Mask making companies or sell them - just kidding





    Washing of the hands is a must though...
    Today was the first day I saw a greeter at walmart wearing a mask.
    No masks here.
    I think it's hype as well. It was avian flu before this, as well as west nile virus, foot and mouth disease, small pox, a resurgence of TB, mad cow disease, etc. Modern medicine is so potent now, I doubt we will see another pandemic. Even if we do, it'll affect the old, children, and adults with compromised immune systems. Healthy adults have little to fear about. Maybe in Mexico and other 3rd world countries with no advanced or accessible medical facilities there is cause for concern, but not here.

    From Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com ';V for Vendetta'; by Alan Moore, the author who wrote the story.





    The protestors that wear the mask should stand for Vs rebellion against oppression. V himself from the graphic novel stood for Anarchy.


    ';Let us destroy. From the ashes, we will rebuild';


    Something like that..What does the v for vendetta masks protest for?
    they are used by a group that began online known only as 'anonymous', and they protest the church of scientology


    originally though it was supposed to represent guy falkes, a real person who protested the british gouvernment and tried to blow up parliament

    Why did Michael Jackson put masks on his kids for all those years?

    I was curious. Was there any specific reason for the masks?Why did Michael Jackson put masks on his kids for all those years?
    He wanted to shield them from the paparazzi. He didnt want their faces known so they could go out in peace and not be hounded. He wanted to keep them safeWhy did Michael Jackson put masks on his kids for all those years?
    He was trying to protect them. Michael was not alone there are other celebrities who don鈥檛 want their kids to be photographed you will find very few photos of Johnny Depp鈥檚 two kids for that reason. Depp has said before that he choice this life but his children did not choice it. JK Rowling even went to court when someone took a photo of her son. MJ was probably one of the most followed celebrities. I found it quite sad in Living with MJ that the press/photography鈥檚 and even fans would not even let this man take his young children to the zoo with out bombarding them with photos and crowding around them Prince who was 6 at the time apparently got poked in the eye.





    I think he probably had other safety concerns as well there are crazy people in this world. People that might have tried to do something to the children to hurt Michael or even get ransom money. I think he did at some point get some threating letters in regards to his children. Michael knew what it was like to have to grow up in the lime light and he wanted to protect his kids from that as long as possible. Even more that they weren鈥檛 in the limelight for anything they did but simple because Michael was their father.
    It was to protect them from paparazzi and stalkers. If they weren't seen WITH him, then they wouldn't be recognized as his children when they WEREN'T with him.





    He said in one of those long interviews that it was a game for them, that they enjoyed it. Of course he said some crazy, contradictory things in those interviews, too, so who knows? But I do think it has been good for them to be sheltered as long as they have. Poor kids.
    Michael tried the only way he knew how to let them be normal. To let them have a childhood. He wanted to keep their faces out of the media so that people couldn't talk to them about their daddy, or anything like that. So people would like them for who they are. So people wouldn't dislike them for who their daddy is either.
    Becasue people were already talking about doing horrible things to his kids and how he shouldn't have them. He didn't want the public to know who they were. He didn't want them to go through what he did and he wanted them to have a childhood.
    The masks were because whenever the children were out and about the paparrazzi would never leave them alone and he wanted to shield them from having their photos sold and plastered all over the world.





    But they are BEAUTIFUL children and now I think they can come out with a lot less problem...
    He didn't want his kids to get exploited. He did a good job at doing that. Take a look at Jon%26amp;Kate+8, their kids are exploited really badly, its kind of sad. But you have to say, his children are freaking gorgeous.
    Well i watched an interview of his and he said he put masks on his kids to prevent the press from finding out who there mothers are
    it's one of those weird sex things where you'd have to have the fetish yourself to understand why it's important to put masks on kids.
    Yes to keep them from getting photo graphed by the millions and millions of cameras that followed them every day
    Some kind of sick sex game most probably!!
    To protect the kids, I assume.
    because he wanted to but he shou;dnt have the children are beautiful.

    What is the difference between thermal lenses and regular lenses for paintball masks?

    Okay, I will explain it in simple terms, then on a little more scientific level... thermals don't ';fog up'; on you like regular lenses do in extremities.





    Here is why, while a regular lens is a single pane, a thermal is a double pane with a vacuum in the middle. If you remember high school physics, the rules about things like heat, amongst other things, change in a vacuum. The temperature on one side of the lens has no bearing on the temperature on the other (which will be closer to your body temp due to breathing and the simple release of body heat). With a single lens the moisture on one side or the other (the problem is typically the inside) will condense on the lens because of the temperature change.What is the difference between thermal lenses and regular lenses for paintball masks?

    Thermal lens is designed to resist fogging. There's 2 types of thermal lenses.





    Thermal Coating - a coating is baked on the lens. Works ok but can flake off over time.





    Dual-pane - best kind (in my opinion), the lens has a thin sheet of plastic adhered to the inner side of the lens (side facing in on the mask), separated by foam near the edges.
    regular lenses are just a single pane, thermals are dual panes which keep a air space in between the lenses to equal out the Temperature to reduce fogging. Buy thermals, you can get cheap ons at walmart fo 40 bucks
    if you live in a southern state nothing not a dang thing

    I start to fall in love with facial mask, please recommend me some good masks that work great for our skin?

    You don't say what type of skin you have! Oily, dry, combination, or normal? Just buy the mask for your skin type. It should say the skin it's meant for on the container! Body Shop has awesome stuff, as does Clinique, Avon, even some drug store brands, like Biore and Garnier, Olay, Ponds, to name a few. It depends also on your pocket book! Just be sure you get the one for your type of skin. Most are quite good, no matter the brand!I start to fall in love with facial mask, please recommend me some good masks that work great for our skin?
    The mask you use or need depends on your skin type, you should be using a mask 2x a week. If you have oily skin you may want to use a clay mask, dry skin would benefit from a moisturizing pack (non drying mask). Or you may decide to use both for combination skin, a clay mask once a week and moisturizing mask the other. There are lots of other types of masks out there, so find out what your problem areas are and find a mask for that, be sure to follow the manufacturers directions.I start to fall in love with facial mask, please recommend me some good masks that work great for our skin?
    theres two i use and love....the first is Arbonne Internationals Nutrimin re9 anti aging mask, whixh is a vitamin C based product...





    and the second which is my fav. the Intelligence Thermal Fushion Mask it heats up when you apply it!!
    I use Neutrogena Clear Pore cleanser/mask - it works well for my combo skin.
    You can try Ginvera green tea hydrating white mask or Neutrogena fine fairness mask, these both works great when you want to hydrate and whiten your skin.

    When Police burn drugs after being seized,Would they get Stoned if not wearing face masks?

    Watched The Force last nite on T.V and while they burned the drugs the police were standing near the smoke,no masks.When Police burn drugs after being seized,Would they get Stoned if not wearing face masks?
    Yes they would and it has happened. They now have requirements as to where they can burn, what time, who is around and so on so that they don't have this problem nor do any citizens who may live nearby.When Police burn drugs after being seized,Would they get Stoned if not wearing face masks?
    If they got stoned they would fail there weekly drug testing and loose there job.
    Is this an organized form of passive smoking,or worse still will we see a raft of claims for cancer related illnesses,under the guise of we were only doing our job,yes they pinch us the general community when affected by drugs and such, after the big burn ,maybe they to drug test police invoved to see if they are fit to drive or is this another case of they handle their drugs better than the rest of the community.
    do you really believe they burn it all ? do you really believe they wear a mask ....yeah right
    Possibly
    OH YEAH
    Yeah, they must do. I would.
    It is supposed to be illegal now -


    for them not to use masks ?


    But they sure would get high -


    so guess that's why !!
    Do you think cops don't like to get high. That's called a perk!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What type of clay is best for making masks?

    I love to make masks, and I am very good at it, but I can never make a mask that will fit my face. They are always flat! So what is the best clay that I can make a mask that will actually BE a mask. :)





    Howls,


    Timber WolfWhat type of clay is best for making masks?
    look up how to make a mask using plaster bandages. I gave you one example link, but I am sure you can find more with google.


    You aktually make a mold of your face, so it will fit. .





    If you want, you can then use this mask as a mold (close up any holes you left for eyes or nose with plasticine or clay, coat inside with vaseline, mix up plaster and pour into mold and let set).


    Then you have a replica of your face and if you make all your future mask based on this they will fit - the model of your face will support any material you are using until it is dry and stiff and able to support itself.What type of clay is best for making masks?
    white porcelain clay is good, but if i were you, i would consider using papier-m芒ch茅. to make the mask, lighter to ware if that is what you want to do.





    have some fin with a friend, prepare some paste( water and plane flour) and cut strips of news paper 1inch wide by 6inches long and let them paste them on your face till required thickness is required( don't block the nose) it may take a little time to harden enough to remove the mask,


    once you have taken it of and let it harden, if you want to make more masks.





    paint the inside of the mask with a light cote of oil( light cote) and pore plaster of Paris in to it let harden and remove from mold.





    you can then make


    papier-m芒ch茅. masks all the time/





    hope this helps you.





    if you use clay it will shrink during firing and will not fit snug to your face and may warp

  • I'm trying to find images of elaborate masks made by American Indians on the northwest coast?

    A friend told me about these very good masks made by the aforementioned group. Some had masks within masks and apparently they had seperated moving parts. Anyone know where I can find images of these?I'm trying to find images of elaborate masks made by American Indians on the northwest coast?
    Here are some art gallery links with the very-best quality art from noted NW artists (Richard Hunt, etc.), and great photos:

    They've had masks that open up like ';double doors'; to show a smaller mask inside (called ';transformation masks'; wait til you see the PRICES for these), and usually they have ';raven'; masks with working jaws, but I haven't checked their current inventory of late.

    How widespread is the use of surgical/face masks to protect from swine flu in the US?

    Do you see a lot of people wearing them in the streets or crowded places? Please share your experience and specify location. I am particularly interested in those places with the most cases, i.e. New York, Texas, Chicago and California.





    Thank YouHow widespread is the use of surgical/face masks to protect from swine flu in the US?

    try making your own, if not with clay try using an air dry clay like 'DAS' this can be painted and varnished and looks great when finished. if you want them made from clay , here's how . roll a piece of clay between 2 pieces of glad-bake paper then cover someones face with plastic, [oh%26amp;s here] a sheet not a bag, then lay the clay on the face alternatively coat the face with talcum powder, press the clay to form the shape , then carefully lay the piece to dry. support it with lots of paper and fire it to the temp on the packet.. if this is still beyond your budget then try making it with paper mac-he.
