Wearing a face mask could cause hayfever-like symptoms such as sneezing and an itchy nose, doctors have said. MailOnline has the story.
Doctors in Germany have reported cases of 46 people with symptoms such as sneezing and an itchy and runny nose after wearing an FFP2 mask.
The masks, which are the gold standard for blocking Covid particles and are sold widely in the UK, have also been found to shed plastic fibres up to a tenth of an inch (3mm) in length, which are found in people’s noses…
When researchers flushed out the noses of the 46 people with allergic symptoms in Germany, they found an average of almost four plastic fibres per person.
In some cases, people suffered symptoms such as a runny and blocked nose or sneezing within two hours of wearing an FFP2 mask. Their symptoms typically got much better after three days of not wearing the mask.
