My recent health scare made me rethink shop safety

After years of ignoring it, I finally saw a doctor about my cough. Turns out, all that sawdust without a proper mask did some damage. Please, folks, wear a respirator, not just a bandana.

Honestly went through the exact same wake-up call last year. Switched from those useless bandanas to a proper 3m respirator from the hardware store. Made a huge difference, no more coughing fits after working in the garage. Tbh it feels a bit stuffy at first but you get used to it real quick. Totally worth it to just breathe easy afterward.

About the stuffy feeling at first, taking breaks helped me adjust quicker.

The 3M respirator is a total game changer for real.
