Reply to comment by grundar in New Nature study finds fungi and spore all over the filaments of an overused mask and demonstrates humid air filtration efficiency is compromised prolonged wearing - Title: "assessing the consequences of prolonged usage of disposable face masks" by IceGroundbreaking715

Thank you for taking the time to write a cogent response to this. Just so many strange scare phrases that don't belong in a scientific study. Like sure, it's probably a good idea to change out a disposable mask somewhat regularly because they get mechanically degraded after many uses, like straps wearing out, or might get gross if you get a bunch of food or mucus on them, but what's with all this hand-wavey "health effects" that they never substantiate? Are we going to start concern trolling about seatbelt skin chafing problems without mentioning car accidents next?

Lots of bunk insinuation, no new insights.

Agreed . The warmer and wetter the better. Someone should start selling pre-moisten masks.
