Facemasks / Respirators

  • Which should you use?

    Generally speaking...
    N95 respirators protect YOU.
    Facemasks protect OTHERS.

    Flu viruses usually enter through your nose, mouth, or eyes. An N95 respirator (above) helps block the viruses by filtering very small particles - including germs - from the air you breathe. Wear it when caring for or otherwise exposed to the sick.

    Tip: Some have a one-way vent/valve (as in picture above) for easier exhaling & to reduce heat build-up.

     > Limited Supplies < 

    NOTE: N95 respirators are in limited supply. Some local pharmacies and medical supply stores are out. Others are limiting quantities per purchaser.

    Facemask (above) mainly helps keep you from spreading germs when you cough or sneeze. Protects other people from your germs. Wear it if you're sick. Use once; don't share.
