5 out of 5 stars If your getting this to keep from catching the H1N1....   November 29, 2009
A. Streiff (Duluth, MN)
... it didn't protect our family (and I really wanted it to) :(

I went to the CDC website, did a months worth of research into everything we could do as a family to not catch this flu. I bought a box of these masks, a box of medical gloves, literally GALLONS of hand sanitizers, and every kind of over the counter medicine to help boost our immune systems to keep from catching this flu.

After much diligence (I even took my kids out of school for a few days when a kid in their class came down with it), it still found a way to hit our whole family.

My husband came down with it first. Once he was home sick, the whole family used these masks, including him. I figured we would have even less chance of him spreading the germs if he wore one too. Between the masks, gloves and obsessive surface sanitizing, we all managed to keep from getting it for about 6 days. Then I caught it. A few days later both of my kids caught it. Then a few days after them, both my parents caught it (they helped watch my kids at their house while I was sick). We all wore these masks religiously, but the close, daily contact with people in the household who were sick was too much and it found a way through.

We were tested and found it to be the H1N1. We all had different degrees of severity to the illness. My mother became ill fast and was rushed to the ER by ambulance. My father developed such a bad cough he ended up with a hernia and will need to surgically repaired. Myself and my kids were placed on Tamiflu (which to warn you, can make you very sick to your stomach), my husband however recovered after a mere 5 days (the rest of us it took weeks to get better).

The ONLY thing that ever worked was the Emergen-C drink, used to boost the immune system. Our flu's hung on for weeks and no amount of prescribed medications (Tamiflu, antibiotics, steroids) would make it go away. But as soon as we started taking that, we all got better FAST. I don't know if it would have prevented catching the flu, but it finally gave our body some ability to fight it.

I gave this mask 5 stars because it's a great mask. This mask was not manufactured to prevent the spread of viruses, so I can not take away from it's rating because it did not do so for us. You can really tell that it is filtering the air. It even filters out smells. Once you figure out how to get the mask to set right on your face and the straps in a good spot on your head, it stays put. I would even use these masks again if some other virus came around and I needed to try and prevent catching it. Every little bit helps, it was just too much this time around. This virus just seems to be super contagious. I'm not saying it definitely wont work for you, it just didn't work for the 6 of us.




3 out of 5 stars A FACEMASK IS NOT A RESPIRATOR; doesn't protect from viruses   November 3, 2009

This product will not protect you from breathing in Swine Flu or any other virus. [...].

Facemasks cleared by the FDA for use as medical devices have been determined to have specific levels of protection from penetration of blood and body fluids. Facemasks help stop droplets from being spread by the person wearing them. They also keep splashes or sprays from reaching the mouth and nose of the person wearing the facemask. *****They are not designed to protect against breathing in very small particle aerosols that may contain viruses. Facemasks should be used once and then thrown away in the trash.********

Respirators: Unless otherwise specified, "respirator" refers to an N95 or higher filtering face piece respirator certified by the CDC/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). A respirator is designed to protect the person wearing the respirator against breathing in very small particle aerosols that may contain viruses.



1 out of 5 stars Straps do break a lot   September 28, 2009

I haven't bought this mask from Amazon, only from the local big-box type home improvement stores (and paid way more BTW).

But its the same mask, and the straps do break. I bought a two-pack the other day and after only a few uses the straps on both masks had already broken. The ones I had bought before were the same. I don't know if its a heat issue, as I live in Florida and this is in summertime.

If it weren't for that problem it would be a good mask. Why can't a major company like 3M come up with straps that don't break?

From http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/eua/pdf/n95factsheet.pdf, you can find this 3M respirator has been authorized by FDA in May of this year (2009) for emergency use by the general public1 during the current swine flu emergency to help reduce exposure to airborne germs.
