It juuuuuust occurred to me that I somehow got a weird upper respiratory infection right after I started using these N95 masks I bought off of Amazon... and they have no brand name. I did a few test runs with them to see how I'd do wearing them at the concert. *slides them into garbage*

Amazon, the place I never trust to buy food or cosmetic items from due to bad warehouse storage issues meaning they show up with disturbing textures. Good job me.

I've gotten them directly from Grainger and Honeywell; would recommend.

I also got mine directly from Honeywell, on the recommendation of siderea. They've served well!

Thanks. I'll look into it if I can't source locally. My area has a big package theft problem which is why I resort to using Amazon lockers for certain items.

There's a site called projectn95.org that allegedly sources their masks from legitimate places... I got mine from there and haven't had problems.

Heck.

That does sound possibly shady and bad, but ugh, I'm sorry. Amazon has some seriously bad storage issues.

Yeah, my nose started acting up when I was out getting groceries. I assumed it was allergies at first, and then woke up definitely sick. In retrospect, it's pretty sus.

Infection is still there, but not nearly as bad. I just need to keep on top of it.

I'm glad it's improving!
