RZ Mask -
Got it the other day (LOTS OF NEOPRENE SMELL). let it air out (stuck it over a fan and turned on the fan). No more plastic smell.Wore it out today - filtered "air freshener" from sister's car and airborne contaminants from the store. Usually, I can be in Staples for about 10 minutes before having an asthma attack - If I prepare to go by taking Benedryl and doing a nebulizer treatment of Xopenex and Pulmicort.The mask filtered SOME of the fumes from a car in front of us which blew a head gasket and produced some toxic black smoke. This would have typically set off an immediate asthma attack and an immediate severe migraine.
However, I kept feeling like I had to adjust the mask - it sits a tiny bit low on my face. AND, the strap does not stay at the right place on the back of my head. Not sure about that.
BUT - I did not take benedryl before going out. I did not do a breathing treatment before going out. AND I HAVE NO ASTHMA RIGHT NOW! YAY! I do have a bit of a twinge in the back of my head (pre-migraine) from the car fumes exposure, but that should respond to Advil.CONCLUSION
So, a tentative ok for normal exposure stuff. NOT good enough for major exposure (car fumes from the other car). But, for me - might be enough to let me go shopping on a weekly basis instead of having to wait for the "really good days" or having someone go shopping for me.LINK
