Personal safety is a hot topic. Majorly because we are living in dangerous times. Now, more than ever before, we have civilians legally wielding fatal weapons while struggling to remain afloat a heavily taxing economy. All these, while battling mental issues. These stressors and worries do more than harm our peace of mind; and not by just making being out late a squid game; they weaken our immune system. When addressing matters of health and immunity, we can’t help but bring up how aggressive infections have been getting over the years. With every technological advancement made in the field of curative medicine, some infection somewhere evolves to ensure it survives. This brings us back to this article’s starting point, personal safety. Can you really protect yourself from infections that have been evolving for decades?

To answer the above question, we need to talk about the infections at hand. Infections are caused by microorganisms. These are organisms that are microscopic in nature; that is, they are so tiny, that they are invisible to the naked human eye. This is one factor that makes them quite dangerous; almost or even more dangerous than the economy-stressed human handling mental problems and walking around with the legal, lethal weapon. And their size is not the only superpower they have: Oh boy, don’t they come in numerous forms! The primary classifications we have are viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Don’t gasp just yet. I should tell you that they also have different modes of propagation and they can multiply faster than you can say ‘Achu!’. Hehe, did I forget to mention that you may have just spread some of them by saying ‘achu’? Yes, some propagate through the air.

By definition, airborne diseases are illnesses caused by ‘flying’ or ‘floating’ microorganisms. And yes, they (the pathogens) are as scary as they sound. Airborne disease-causing pathogens can be transmitted through coughs, dust, and sneezing: Any action that will spray them out from the infested source to the air. They will then be suspended and transported to the next potential host. When being introduced into the air, most of the pathogens come in wet droplets, particularly when the host is a living organism. The droplets, such as when someone coughs or sneezes, provide a protective coating for the pathogen thus increasing its chances of survival. For example, some of the secretions may have mucus. This protects it from; sunlight and other radiations, varying air temperatures, and humidity. The next victim will inhale them and after a short while, get sick. Some of these diseases include the common cold, tuberculosis, COVID-19, Anthrax, chickenpox, and measles.

Unfortunately, there’s no sure way of fully protecting oneself from these invisible, flying hooligans. One can only take measures to reduce the risk of exposure. The best measures involve the use of ventilators and personal protective equipment such as masks and face shield with glasses. Masks with several layers are best since, as we mentioned earlier, pathogens are microscopic. One can find quality KN95 masks for sale and face shields with glasses on this site. Make your health a priority, after all, you will need to be in great shape when you meet the mental guy with a deadly weapon.
