Late last year I bought a N95 face mask because I was going into my loft which has mineral wool insulation. I asked about face masks because the mask has a one way valve making exhaling easier and while probably providing covid protection to me from others it won't obviously protect others from me.

Bovril here's hoping you are going to be OK and not too severely affected.

I have the same mask used when sanding MDF, it is quite easy to wedge the flap valve shut to protect others. Don't want to be doing manual work with it on though.
