| 144. You're imagining something different from what they are |
|
They look very similar to regular masks that you would see in an operating room but they seal completely around the nose and mouth (under the chin). The ones I have are ones we jokingly call the duckbills because they're orange and they stick out like duck bills. They block viral particles and are used most often within my job when I work with someone with tuberculosis.
I think you're thinking of gas masks. I don't have them. I'm not at all sure that the ones I have would work for chemical attack. Yes, I have them for flu and have stocked them specifically this year for the possible/probable avian flu pandemic.
