Review on Powerful Protection: Makrite 9500 πŸ’ͺ N95S Pre Formed Particulate Respirator Unveiled by Mike Lunde

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not all N95 are safe to use!

I purchased 4 boxes of 20 masks each after looking for a premium price of $60 per box from another company for 6 months to ensure that my elderly parents, other elderly family members and others Family members (myself included) who are at high risk have adequate and reliable protection. Unfortunately, these masks were very irritating as they caused a burning and tingling sensation wherever they touched my skin (i.e. on the cheeks under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, on my cheeks, under my chin). The burning sensation persisted even after removing and washing the face, and repeated application of over-the-counter hydrocortisone was required to eliminate the sensation. The foam pad on my nose was uncomfortable and the fit of the mask was terrible as it sat so high on the bridge of my nose that my glasses couldn't sit close to my face; this made vision difficult and meant my goggles slipped slightly, forcing me to touch my goggles and/or face when (given COVID-19) it is clearly not safe to do so in the current conditions. Worst of all (in my opinion) my nose was burned trying to inhale this mask like the mask had been sprayed with some kind of chemical. Needless to say I had to tell all my family members to throw away the only N95 masks they have had for six (6) months to ensure their use is not causing them any health problems. With all the issues I was experiencing, this made me seriously doubt the effectiveness of the N95 protection. Luckily I was able to return any unused masks and still got a full refund but I would pay anything for safety! Just very disappointing!
