I would not personally recommend anyone buy a respirator that has not been fitted and tested specifically for you. This is based on my experience using respirators in the pharm. business. Of course, it's your $80.

This respirator by itself is useless. Most nerve agents can enter through the skin, as can many biological agents.

The single advantage to one of these babies is that no one will be able to see your face turn red when you get laughed at.

Oh come on. I was joking. That's why it isn't in Richard's forum.

I know you were joking. Hence the at the end of my post. But there are other duct-tape-hoarding folks out there who would take this seriously.

LOL... here I thought that the people who hang out here have enough brain function to realize that if they were to seal their house air-tight with duct tape, they'd suffocate on their own waste.

When I was in the service in the mid 80s we would try to find our chem gear once a year and laff at each other trying to put it on etc.

if you see a film of what happens when one tiny part of your arm gets exposed to certain chemicals, you would worry less about masks etc.

But I do think it is funny how quick companies are to jump on things like this.....of course I have heard that there are basically only two forces that drive selling trends...fear and greed. Id say right now there are lots of companies trying to prey on fear.
