<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 4530216, member: 5233&quot;]I haven&#039;t seen any data that suggests this is accurate.&nbsp; I have seen data that shows that other pathogens can grow on the inside of a soiled mask (bacteria, fungi, ect.) and you can get secondary infections.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s highly unlikely that in the &quot;normal world&quot; the outside of the mask is going to get so soiled that its going to pose an infective risk.&nbsp; Yes, the outside of the mask can pick up things...but this virus doesn&#039;t stay in the air very long so its unlikely that there is much of a risk here.&nbsp; In theory, could it happen...sure.&nbsp; But I would say that wearing a mask is safer than not despite this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you are in a position where someone is spraying potentially infectious material in your face (like I have been in all day today)...then yes, change the mask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
