N95 respirator fit test. The chemical they spray in the hood taste bad. REAL bad.

I had to do this when I started working at a hospital as a CNA. They’re getting fitted for tuberculosis masks. What they do is they put a mask on your face that they think should fit you, then they place the plastic helmet over your head. They then spray a fine sugar-water mist into the plastic helmet, and ask you to inhale deeply. If you can taste the sugar through the mask, then the mask isn’t tight enough and you need to be refitted, because if you can taste sugar, then TB molecules can get through as well.

I never use “effect” as a verb as I’m too scared someone like me will correct my usage.

I concede your point. It’s a lot hotter in AZ than here. Besides, my husband’s colleague’s daughter was a top high school hockey player. HOwever, she went out of state up north somewhere to find a high school team.

But it was worth it — full ride hockey scholarship to some fancy school (I forget which one). Maybe you should get your kids to take up hockey?

Yes. N95s don’t necessarily “work” unless you find a model that fits you correctly, which is why I find the boatloads of people stocking up on surgical masks amusing.

On the other hand, when I see someone with a surgical mask PULL IT DOWN to sneeze or cough, then I just want to smack them.

Ah. I did not catch the significance of “Blues.” (I went immediately to the musical genre.) Congrats on their win.

Yes, wow was a bit frightening. I was proud of myself for helping start what apparently was a sh*tfest, then going to work.

I’m a bad person.

I wasn’t fit to be Scrooge. That “wow” guy from a couple LOLs back was far scroogier than me. And the minor discussion of hockey, plus the fact that my Blues won tonight made me celebrate my team!

Definitely N-95 fit testing. We use spray saccharin when doing our fit tests and as someone above said, it’s mandatory for all direct caregivers.

When I was a teen in NJ, a friend and I figured that we were 1/2 way between NYC and Washington, D.C., so we were in the maximum fallout zone, either way. We figured it was probably better to head right for the blast site, and get it over with!

So if my respirator has a good ‘seal’ do I still have to crawl under my desk in case of emergency?

If you get a leak in your mask TB then stands for “Too Bad”.
