Blog Post Comment👍Hey there! Firstly, I have to mention that your article has been very insightful and helped me discover everything about pollution allergy . It has been rampant especially in our locality as a couple of new factories have come up recently. Lately, my husband has been showing symptoms caused due to air pollution. His continuous sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy and red eyes have been my concern for pretty long. As you mentioned, I guess we will have to see an allergist at the earliest so...

File Comment❤️We know how feel! Jade just got her new VogMasks that have been fantastic! But, she doesn't mind wearing her mask or sharing her JadeSafe health tips! These masks have been especially handy after a recent hospital admission.

File Comment❤️WTG Jade! And you are rockin' that mask!

File Comment❤️Welcome @pinkladycha . Wearing a mask is a great idea for controlling inhaled triggers. Does that help your son stay active?
-
File CommentIt's my daughter but she has bad allergies too that trigger her asthma. She isn't very active because her asthma is triggered by physical activity. She's only rode her bike once this year and that was that day. We generally have a high pollen count so we had to make sure she was covered for her 30 mins of play lol.

File CommentI love it! That's one cool mask -- it's actually way prettier than I thought it would be from your earlier descriptions ... I was thinking those skull masks with the flames that you see bikers wear!
-
File Comment❤️I had to look hard to find one that WASN'T skull and cross bones-I had to wear this crazy thing during the day while dressed in a suit! Imagine suit, heels, a construction hat and this mask. I got more than one odd look.

File CommentMKelly, if it works, it works! Glad the mask has helped you make the diamond a possibility! I second Jen's invitation to join in -- also, we have a conversation going where folks show off THEIR masks -- some pretty cool ones, if I do say so myself. Another cool spot on our community is You vs Asthma ... it's where we log the daily battles and skirmishes we have with asthma.

File Comment❤️A question, does she have to wear this mask every day when she is out? Or just when triggers are high? Does she get made fun of by other kids? OK, 3 questions.
-
File Comment❤️she's a girl. But yes she has to wear a mask about because she has so many environmental triggers. Shes a girl. She does have to wear a mask out. Because she has so many triggers, more so spring time. She does get picked on and bullied by kids because some thing she's dying. Adults stare a lot . She's blessed though

File Comment❤️Safety first...and good for you. It is a nice colorful mask..you are such a fashionista!
-
File CommentAgreed, but I am afraid to take planes or long distance buses where the air circulates and also are you concerned about getting the flu virus from just touching the seat of your plane or using a pubic restroom, even if you have on a mask?
-
File CommentTotally understand that @Martha Anne ! The recirculated air and close proximity to potentially sick people was a huge concern. The mask definitely helped to keep me from touching my face and spreading germs there. I also had packs of wipes and hand sanitizer. I carefully wiped down my personal space - arm rests, back of the seat, tray table - before I sat down. Any time I went to the rest room, I slathered in hand sanitizer. Also wiped down things in the hotel rooms like door handles, TV...
