Question from Liz
I am not supposed to wear a face mask due to a serious medical condition, but my doctor won’t let me in the office without one (not to mention the grocery store). Have you found any masks made with safe material that are easy to breath in? I’ve heard surgical masks are the easiest to breath in (though not designed for protection from viruses) but I’ve read that even some of those are made with toxic materials, plus they used to be restricted to medical professionals. A friend suggested a face shield since they are easier to breath in, but I imagine the plastic in those is toxic.
If you have any research on this, I’d much appreciate hearing it!

I really like the “I Can Breath Mask”. I use it for pollen and dust allergies, but I am assuming it could be used for this purpose as well. It is tight fitting but I find it comfortable and breathable, but not so breathable that it is ineffective.
