While going through Chemo I wore masks because one casualty of chemo is nose hairs. Using a mask showed me just how much crud I was breathing in and just how important those little nose hairs are to helping keep the crud out.
No, but for cleaning the tackroom and such, I really should. I get pretty bad allergies from all the dust. But I HATE trying to breathe in those things! It’s next to impossible.
Not cheap but they have wider straps.

Thanks SonnysMom, that looks like it’s worth trying.
I actually just thought of this the other day. With the dusty muddy horses in winter, I have pondered this, to avoid the black boogers for the rests of the day.
