I run the smallest particle mask filters that I can get. These are
the ones used for painting autos. I do not find a clog problem with
the number of hours that I can accept having it on in a day. Demo
workers seem to be the only ones with clog problems.=20
I have found from extreme mold exposure I have become very sensitive
to it and normally can use that to tell me when to put it on. But
where I am right now I am using medication daily because the
situation is too bad for to many miles around.=20

I don't think you will find that test person in people medicine.
I also have had lime d. There are two blood tests you can take if
you are worried. Unfortunately you can not take them for the first
month. I got the big target and took the medication that ripes your
digestive system apart. I then had the blood tests when trying to
determine a cause of muscle problems. I tested as if I never have
had lime because I medicated soon enough. If you are worried I would
hold out for the blood test in a couple months.

PS Ivan was wide. I am working my 16+ hours per day here but came up
for air here for some lite reading.
