Who may have problems wearing a respirator?
Bird flu respirator masks available at the moment are unlikely to fit small children. Also, elderly people and those with lung conditions (asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis) are likely to find it difficult to breathe through a bird flu respirator, since the air must be drawn in through a filter. You can purchase bird flu respirators from companies advertising on the Internet, medical suppliers and pharmacies. Have a look to see what’s available, then consult with your family doctor to find out which respirator will provide you with the best protection.
