What Are Your Non-Pharmacological Ways to Help to Manage Asthma?

I started using Cambridge Mask pro whenever I’m going out and find it is a huge help. I think there is silver impregnating the mask and a carbon filter to breathe through. It looks similar to a regular N95 cloth mask and it’s reusable. Has anyone else used them or found any other great masks?

@drsharon Oh how I wish they had a mask with a head strap! Ear loops totally do not work for me, and no modification we have tried changes that.

Hi @drsharon - I've not used a mask outside the house at all. However, I've noticed that when I work in the garden for a few hours I feel like I'm still coughing up dirt and dust for a couple of days afterward. It's like my lungs are really bothered by the dirt and dust somehow. According to my testing, I'm only actually allergic to house dust and cats.
Have you worn a mask doing outdoor work? If so, how does it work for you during activity and in heat?
