A Surgical mask is helping me this allergy season

A Surgical mask is helping me this allergy season. My allergies are worse than normal for this time of year.

"Pollen particles (a common cause of seasonal allergies) range from 10 to 100 micrometers in size, depending on the type of pollen. A standard surgical mask can block particles as small as 3 micrometers. Medical masks, such as N95 masks, are even more effective, catching particles only 0.04 micrometers in size." Source
