Wear a Mask
Due to recent events, many people are used to the idea of wearing a face mask while in public. While people wear masks to avoid a specific viral infection, the use of face masks to help with allergies has been widespread long before the face mask trend caught on. Specifically, in parts of Asia, people would wear face masks whenever they felt unwell or wanted to avoid catching anything. Specific face masks, such as the N95 mask, are particularly good at filtering the air and ensuring you don’t catch anything. In addition, the culture of Japan is centered around respect, which is why most people would wear face masks when feeling sick to ensure no one else catches their illness.
Avoiding allergies while outside is as simple as wearing an effective mask to help filter the air. You’ll feel much better, and you’ll find yourself experiencing fewer bouts of allergies throughout the week. It can be challenging to get kids to wear masks to help with their allergies, so try to set a good example by wearing them when you go out.
