Fear of going out

Posted by lilbit59 @lilbit59, Jul 19, 2025

I'm concerned about going out because I don't want to get anything else on top of the Mac lung. I have asthma and COPD as well. I have trouble with a mask. What should I do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I feel.the same way, afraid to go out but not for Lung or flu or chicken. Monkey pox or MRSA but it's scabies. It's so 😫 sickening in florida.
They are everywhere here in Dr offices and ppl itching like a dog with flea. And now they are in stores on clothing I had that happen touching clothes. So yes its a huge problem!!
They are very hard to get rid of and nope, I don't eat out anymore or go to movies, hotels. Motels planes Uber rides or any public chair and stand in Dr offices. Wont sit there especially there!

YIKES! I know all about that. It's not fun. We had it some years ago and it stinks. It's very contagious. Be careful.

Unfortunately Walmart no longer has the inserts for the mask and I'm not sure where to get them.

I found several on Amazon if I used "face mask brackets" in the search bar. Good luck to you!
