N95 MaskRespirator Face Masks for ProtectionThe N95 mask is recommended by the CDC for many pandemic flu situations, but they are not always appropriate. An N95 face mask is a respirator face mask and is more efficient than an ordinary face mask or surgical mask.
High filtration respiratory masks have a special microstructure filter disc that flushes out tiny particles, like H1N1
flu virus
particles, that are greater than 0.3 micron.
Photo or N95 mask Each respirator face mask has a number that indicates how efficiently the mask filters out particles. For example, “N95” means that a mask filter out 95% of particles that are greater in size than 0.3 micron—under normal conditions. While a respirator mask is very efficient, a
nano mask
can filter out even smaller particles. Did you know that the only flu treatment that worked in 1918-19 was homeopathy? It's true, and it's been well documented! Dr. Deborah Baker has written a book, Homeopathic/Herbal Flu Prevention and Cures that, not only includes homeopathic remedies for treatment AND prevention, but also includes dosages, the mystery for most non-professionals.

Uses for N95 Face MasksA respirator is designed to protect the wearer from small particles like viruses that are present in droplets or aerosols from the sneezing, coughing or breathing of an infected person.While a respirator may filter out more micro-organisms than a surgical mask or medical mask, it is harder to breathe through a respirator than an ordinary face mask. Because of this, respirators cannot be worn for extended periods of time. In addition, respirators are not recommended by the CDC, for children or for people with facial hair. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommendations for respirators are:
In addition to wearing face masks, the CDC also recommends that, during a pandemic, we do these things to protect ourselves:
Face masks do have their place during a pandemic. But masks are not all equal. Make sure you understand what each one does—surgical mask, N95 mask, or nano mask—and which is appropriate for you and your situation. And do make sure that you understand how to properly put a mask on and take it off. Viewing the

will help you with this.
