B.2.2. Masks for Mucosal Bypass and MORE Disease

The Nose is an excellent filter compared to the Mouth https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.1513/pats.201007-050RN

  • More particles are captured via nasal inhalation
  • There is an immune priming system in place between the nasopharynx and the lungs

Mask wearing could have the effect of increasing mouth breathing and lowering nose breathing, thereby bypassing the mucosal system.
