Am an EMT, we wear a new mask for every patient then change at the hospital and once again when leaving. 2/3 masks over 1 maybe 2 hours.

Whos wearing the same mask for 8/9 hours? And if you say surgeon..its because they are in a sterilised room already.

I actually came here because I designed a custom strapless mask (1 part to protect a wax handlebar moustache, 1 part cool looking) but I use it every time I went out; I was very interested in seeing if I could have been affecting my health in other ways (recurring exposure to fungi?) even though I sanitized it fairly regularly- so, different kind of exposure/overuse as well might apply? But sounds like maybe not worth the read?
