Not the brain, just nose and mouth. Saying bye to colds, headaches, allergies, respiratory infections, with a simple filter? Fuck yes :)

> you should really start by having all your maxillary teeth pulled

Oh yeah, if I weren't so poor I would have done that years ago. I still hope to be wealthy enough, one day, that I'll be able to replace all my teeth with artificial ones that don't decay.

No; a mask i don’t have to put on and off, doesn’t stop me from talking clearly, doesn’t stop from eating and drinking, doesn’t make my face sweat, doesn’t make my glasses steamed, doesn’t need to be replaced every day, etc etc.
