What happens if you pull a capron stocking over the mask? Bashny.Net

In such a long period of pandemic, you must have learned. How to Use a Face Mask. Although, if you remember, it was really difficult for many. What are the Internet queries in the style of “which side to wear a mask?” That's what happened!



Of course, today we will not raise this topic again. But I think the editorial board found something more provocative for you. How about increasing the effectiveness of a protective mask with a regular nylon stocking? Um, let's figure it out!

It is no secret that a tissue or medical face mask does not protect against the virus 100%. And we wear them primarily to protect the people around us. It is not always a matter of knowing the truth.



However, experts from different parts of the world do not cease to study the question of the protective properties of the mask. To make it more effective, they resort to the most extraordinary solutions. For example, last spring, a group of researchers from Northeastern University of Massachusetts led by Loretta Fernandez conducted a very interesting experiment.

His goal was to determine what materials could reduce the spread of pathogens in the air. As a result, the researchers came to the conclusion that ordinary nylon copes with this task perfectly. Most often it is used in the manufacture of women's stockings and tights.



Loretta Fernandez claims that wearing a nylon cloth over a regular mask will increase its protective function. And the efficiency can reach 90%! This is almost the same as the N95 respirator.



According to the researcher, the nylon layer works as filter. In addition, thanks to him, the mask sits tighter on the face. Therefore, the virus will not be able to enter the free breathing zone, which usually forms between the mouth, nose and mask material.

If you also like experiments, keep detailed instructions on how to make a nylon layer. You're gonna need a clean, low-key woman's stocking. Cut a 20-30 cm long piece so that it looks like a ring.



Next, put a disposable or fabric mask on your face. And already on top of it stretch prepared nylon fabric, as shown in the photo. Done! As you can see, it's really very simple. But the question is, is the game worth the candle?

From the editorial board, now let's get to the point! As a brave editor, I can say with confidence that the idea of nylon stocking over the mask is a failure. I tried this hellish innovation on myself, and I want to say this.



First of all, even the cheapest stocking presses, and it is very unpleasant. Secondly, due to the extra layer, breathing in a mask is very difficult. It was so hard that I could not stand more than a few minutes in this uniform. I cannot judge the effectiveness of this hack. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with real life.

What do you think of such an unusual know-how? They shared their impressions in the comments. Wait for you downstairs!
