Re: Best Masks to buy

[Guest guest]

I read, that some test are being done.

When you can wait a month or two, we might have more data.

Greetings,

I started preparing intensively and specifically for the upcoming

Bird Flu Pandemic right after the " Katrina " debacle.

Some 3M Respirators, N100 and N95 Niosh approved Disposable

Respirator Masks were amongst the first supplies I got. Although

their ratings and reviews are very good, I never felt comfortable

wearing them. I would have been scared to go amongst people in a

pandemic scenario.

Then we waited a few month for the delivery of the ordered Nano

Masks. In the meantime I purchased some disposable Niosh approved

Alpha Pro Tech N 95 Particulate Respirator Masks:

http://www.survivetheflu.com/masks.html They were rather

inexpensive and felt much more comfortable then the 3M Masks I had

purchased. The Alpha Pro tech Masks seem to be ideal for

casual " home " or " garden " use " . While still giving N-95 protection,

they are most comfortable so their most important feature might be

to prevent oneself from touching ones mouth or nose.

All along I heard of more and more doubts and complaints about the

none Niosh approved Nano Masks, including Dante's Nano Mask Test:

http://www.avianflutalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1034 & PN=1 Maybe the

self proclaimed credits for Nano Masks were overblown after all, as

the Mask is still not " Niosh " approved. As the company seems to be

in financial trouble, and their claims of the Government having

ordered the " Nano " Mask could not be substantiated, I have become

very skeptical.

Then finally PirateGrl took me almost off disposable Masks

altogether in her posting in the Flu Clinic:

I finally got me some North 7700 Half Mask Air Purifying

Respirators: http://www.masksnmore.com/no77hamaapr.html along with

some North 7580P100 Particulate Filters

http://www.masksnmore.com/nocaandfi.html and some Tyvek Protective

Half Mask Respirator Hoods

http://www.preparedness.com/tyqcprhamare.html

While browsing around the North website, I discovered neat Half

Disposable Respirators, which can be ordered with N-95 disposable

filters: http://www.northsafety.com/usa/en/cfr1 So, I did some of

those too for more casual use. They seem to fit and work great.

Although I have chosen to isolate myself and stay away from others

completely, I would finally feel safe now with the Half Mask

Respirators. I am sure I will find some use around my house for the

disposable face masks.

And no, I do not wish to buy any more face masks please. Thank you.

Blessings,

Mister E.
