This is truly a duh moment.
When a healthy person wears a face mask, they continuously re-rebreathe a portion of the CO2 that comes out of their lungs.
Of course, there are many different types of masks that vary in such CO2 concentration, but the principal remains the same.
Breathing air that is too rich in CO2 has its own negative health effects !
Humans breathe in air that is approximately 20.95% oxygen, 78.09% nitrogen, 0.93% argon, and 0.04% (400 ppm) of carbon dioxide.
Upon exhaling your breath contains approximately 3.8% CO2.
Now, people are not dropping dead because they breathe higher-than-normal concentrations of CO2.
How many of you survived as kids hiding under the covers with a flashlight after bedtime ? (Likely, all of you!)
When CO2 enters the lung, is dissolves in water, forming carbonic acid which makes the blood more acidic, lowering blood pH.
At the same time, excessive CO2 concentrations leaves less oxygen to be absorbed.
Other aspects of body chemistry are affected as well.
When wearing face masks,especially for an extended period or during higher-than-normal physical activity,
some people will experience symptoms like rapid breathing,
rapid heart rate,
dizziness,
muscular weakness,
emotional upsets
and fatigue.
Of course, it is up to each person to decide what it good for their own health.
This writer has already decided to ditch the mask for fresh air.
Admittedly, it is right for a sick person to wear a mask when they find it necessary to be in a public setting.
All others should consider the potentially negative health effects that a face mask might cause.
As states proceed to re-start their economies, companies like Costco are requiring and demanding that all shoppers put on face masks before being allowed into the store.
Certainly, others will follow.
Although their logic for doing this is totally flawed, shoppers have a decision to make:
If you want to attempt to sort this out when faced with such a challenge, create a little card like this to show to the store manager or anyone else who demands that you wear a face mask.
Even if they tell you to get lost, you will have made an important declaration to them about constitutional and legal rights.
Lastly, what is the real agenda of requiring everyone to wear masks even after the pandemic subsides ?
A peer reviewed paper on the National Institute of Healths website (NIH.gov) points in the right direction.
The surgical mask is a bad fit for risk reduction was written in 2016 by Dr. Shane Neilson, MD.
He notes that Wearing a mask reinforces fear and that This fear surfaces in public policy.
Lastly, he concludes: The problem of affect in political terms is a contagious one: fear spreads among the public, leading to intensification of risk management. [emphasis added]
Thus, the governments goal to encourage the continued use of facial masks is to reinforce fear so that their own risk management programs can be intensified.
This, in pure terms, is nothing short of psychological manipulation and it has nothing to do with health or keeping people safe.

I will NOT do damage to my health by wearing a face mask !

Not just CO2. The mask is a flavor saver. Try wearing it after a nice garlicky meal...

Too much CO2 in the mask causes global warming in the brain. Seriously though, get real. Millions of hardworking Americans have been wearing masks on the job for years. It isn’t a health risk any more than hydroxychloroquine.

Not to most people, but it is a risk to some. That’s why OSHA requires employers to have employees undergo a medical evaluation before requiring them to wear respirators of any kind.

I had mine on for a few minutes and I couldn’t breathe and I am in good health for a person my age . . . Praise the Lord! Breathing in CO2 has to jeopardize one’s health and not just from CO2. Talk about germs. Where are all those anti carbon dioxide fanatics so worried about our inhaling CO2 emissions. Have you heard much from them and the mask wearing thing.

[Excerpt:]
“Judy Anne Mikovits (born 1957 or 1958) is a former American research scientist[2][3][10][11][12] who is known for her discredited medical claims, such as that murine endogenous retroviruses are linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. She has been described as an anti-vaccination activist[12][13] and a promoter of conspiracy theories, and has been accused of scientific misconduct.[6][7][8][9] She has made several false claims about vaccines, COVID-19, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).[14][10][11][15]
As research director of CFS research organization Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) from 2006 to 2011, Mikovits led an effort that reported in 2009 that a retrovirus known as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was associated with CFS and may have had a causal role. However, following widespread criticism,[6] the paper was retracted on December 22, 2011, by the journal Science.[8][16] In November 2011, she was arrested and held on charges that she stole laboratory notebooks and a computer from WPI, but she was released after five days and the charges were later dropped.[17]
In 2020, Mikovits promoted conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic via the internet video Plandemic,[10] which made claims that are either false, or not based on scientific evidence.[14][18][19]”

Agree with you.
But those with limited knowledge are easily buffaloed by somebody who seems to make sense.
The principle of re-breathing Co2 and blacking out is true. Called shallow water blackout. It is cause by using a snorkel and not breathing deeply. The Co2 builds up in the length of snorkel and the swimmer blacks out.
A mask has nowhere near the volume of a snorkel and there is very little old air remaining after each exhale.

You might wanna change your mask every 2 hours because of bacterial growth in the warm humid mask.

If some damn yankee Karen, comes to our beaches, which dont exist, to shame us for not wearing masks, we will kick its ass. Then, Karen, turned into a super Becky and was Karening on him even more.
Yo Karen/Becky. This is how I wear my mask! You got a problem with it!?
YOUR CARE ABOUT OTHERS IS NOT SCIENCE! It is a B$ PSA oozing from a lot of tv Karens!

"I will NOT do damage to my health by wearing a face mask !"That is correct! You will in fact not do damage to your health by wearing a face mask. Just like every doctor and nurse in the world for a century. Glad we can all agree.
To: Yosemitest
Another story to convince you not to wear a mask.
So silly.
If you do t want to wear one, dont wear one.
You guys bend over backwards to confirm your own bias. And you think you are educating.
Its hilarious.

"My glasses fog up when I exhale."
If you're really interested, use a mask that fits snugly across the top (bridge of the nose). Some of the more well designed homemade masks do that. Some seamstresses in my area make the best one. If you're using homemade masks and sincerely want to know how to fix that, send me a private message.

Ditto. Plus, I puked immediately after. It’s not natural.

There is a cost and benefit to EVERYTHING in life.
Wearing a mask might prevent you from catching/spreading a pathogen. But it is also going to cause people to pass out and have other negative health effects. That needs to be weighed too.
It seems you only want to consider one side of any equation. Just like Dr. Fauci.

"Thats why OSHA requires employers to have employees undergo a medical evaluation before requiring them to wear respirators of any kind." Since when? I worked in the chemical industry for 25 years, and never took any such test. Nor do I recall any "health warnings" on the various shop masks I have bought and used over the years.

"My glasses fog up when I exhale." Be sure the mask you use has a "conforming wire" the gives a good tight fit across the nose and cheeks. Also, breath IN through the nose and OUT through the mouth. Greatly reduces both fogging AND CO2 "recycling".

Wear a mask or don't wear one, I don't care.
The article is complete bullshit. What's the volume of trapped breath caught behind when compared to inhalation volume? Trivial. Perhaps that 's why you don't see allergy sufferers keeling over because they wear masks while mowing?
Do yourself a favor and make it known that you refuse in advance mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Perhaps a tattoo stating that.
