Dangerous Levels of Titanium Dioxide Found In Face Masks

Last week me dino had to wear a mask in a hospital while my brother Joe was having an operation.
I'd pull out the top of the thing with my fingertips to let out my own carbon dioxide every chance I had.
Never thought the mask itself contained some other poison.
Visiting Joe as he recovered alone in a room, I'd take the damn thing off.
Forgot to put it on when four nurses came into the room.
Not one complained or even seemed to care.
Looked like up to two of the youngest of them were being trained.
Poor ladies have to wear those damn gags for an entire shift.

    I have been saying since the beginning of this BS that in 5 to 10 years we will be seeing commercials on TV about class action lawsuits about Lung damage due to wearing masks. Just like all the asbestos commercials now.

      That makes you smarter than the average dino.
      Whoa! Suddenly I recall Marine trainers using all the way up to elbows asbestos gloves to change barrels that can get too hot for a general purpose M60 machine gun during 1970.
      Wonder if they still walk the earth All I did was to take my turn shooting the thing.
      Quite thrilling for a Marine who already knew he would be a supply clerk,

    Well, that explains why I and several other faculty appear to be allergic to some masks, but not the ones manufactured by my university's 3D printing guru.

    My little brother was recently in the hospital for a quadruple bypass. Had to wear a mask to get in otherwise security would push me out and claim trespassing. Once inside brothers room removed the mask. Had to wear it if I moved about the hospital, could take it off in the cafeteria because as everyone knows Corona Virus can't harm you while eating.
    While waiting in the hall during his operation I removed it to talk with my sister-in-law. Security saw me and gave the look of put it back on. I gave him the look of come on over and talk to me. He walked away.
    The mask is used for symbol of compliance, like the Nazi armband. A quick look and they know who the outliers are.
    The government making demands for behavior that is destructive, shutting down businesses and claiming the right to examine your personal life without cause reveals this a fascist state.

    "I'd pull out the top of the thing with my fingertips to let out my own carbon dioxide every chance I had." and "Visiting Joe as he recovered alone in a room, I'd take the damn thing off. " Good for you, Dino! I did the same thing recently.

      Thank you for pointing this out.
      Titanium Oxide, aka Titanium Dioxide, aka Titania, is a white powder, use as a pigment or a whitening agent in paints & foods. The titanium-oxygen bond is very strong and quite stable.

      Since there is nothing in the body that can break-down or react with titania, the material has the potential to irritate sensitive tissues. This is a purely mechanical response.

      Titanium dioxide is an excellent photocatalyst and thus not completely inert.
      In fact, titanium oxide particles are actually quite effective at disinfection, too.

      Moreover, it is not completely inert with respect to the human body. The body will treat it like any other foreign particulate by attacking it with phagocytes. The problem with the TiO2 is not any different than it would be with breathing in any other fine particulate.

    We took our Fake Masks on our cruise 3 weeks ago, and NOBODY paid the slightest attention to them, just like they didn't on the October cruise. They are way better than any other mask I have ever used, though I haven't used many, because I don't mask often, but even they collect moisture. Really, it can't be helped. Masks need to GO, except for people who WANT to wear them. I am not one of those.

      Me dino does not want to wear those things. I don't like breathing my carbon dioxide and masks can fog up my glasses.

        Well, I'm all for choices! While some people would not go on a cruise simply because they would have to wear them, we weren't going to do that. Of course, hubby has to wear one at work, though they have "specified" the "new standard" of "surgical masks," he has so far ignored that and gotten away with it.

        As for me, the only two times I've worn a mask in the past year has been the two cruises. I'm lucky. My bigger concern is with a booster, which neither of us has had, and basically have no intention of getting, EVEN if we have to give up our next cruise.

        But in the few times I've had to wear a mask, better a fake mask than a real one. IMO :-) Even better: NO mask.
