For years before Covid, I would wear a N95 mask while doing yard work, construction, biking, and even night walks.

I got some stares.

For awhile, I felt some of my neighbors thought I was trying to conceal my identity; but it was just for allergies.

The last thing I wore it for was germs.

I've tried wearing an N95 for allergies, but my eyes still itch like mad so it's only moderately helpful.

I thought about commenting you could wear goggles, but that's just reinventing the gas mask. Turing was a genius!
