Coronavirus infection can be largely prevented by using mask. Studies have shown that when a mask is used properly, droplets cannot enter the nose directly into the mouth. But even after wearing the mask for a long time, it often becomes uncomfortable and difficult. Moreover, when the mask gets wet, germs born there, which go inside while breathing. In this case, what are the strategies can be adopted to avoid these difficulties.
You get used to it. After wearing one for 45 years for my profession, I don't really notice it anymore.
Thanks dear Gary Joseph Ordog for sharing your experience. Very good to know that you are used to it. I have mentioned the opinion or claims of the general people about the discomfort of the mask. Hope we will also be used to like you.
Masks can be sprayed with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide to help kill most of the pathogens such as bacteria or viruses, but washing with detergent should also work fine for those masks designed to be reusable (or reused out of necessity). Heating to 60 degrees C for 30 minutes also works, and low wavelength UV light will sterilize masks, too, but be careful with it- UV below 260 nm is harmful to skin and eyes. If your ears become sore from the straps, the straps can be tied behind your head with a string.
Thank you sir James Keane Bashkin for your valuable comments. These are worth following.
