[USFTSA.com] You can purchase N95 Mask at many places

[Yu Huei Chen]

YOu can purchase Facemasks and N95 mask at a pharmacy, building supply or hardware store. such as Walgreen or CVS, like this http://www.walgreens.com/search/search_results.jsp?term=n95+mask  

 

I think the price range from $1.50 to $ 2.00 dollars or you can search online also. But I think any pharmacy store around you will sale those.

The following information is Interim Guidance for H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu): Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Home.  http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance_homecare.htm     this doesn't mean that all people sick with flu now are having the H1N1 flu.  You all can take precaution with the follow if you want to read about it.  

 

"Using Facemasks or Respirators


Avoid close contact (less than about 6 feet away) with the sick person as much as possible. 
If you must have close contact with the sick person (for example, hold a sick infant), spend the least amount of time possible in close contact and try to wear a facemask (for example, surgical mask) or N95 disposable respirator. 
An N95 respirator that fits snugly on your face can filter out small particles that can be inhaled around the edges of a facemask, but compared with a facemask it is harder to breathe through an N95 mask for long periods of time. More information on facemasks and respirators can be found at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ 
Facemasks and respirators may be purchased at a pharmacy, building supply or hardware store. 
Wear an N95 respirator if you help a sick person with respiratory treatments using a nebulizer or inhaler, as directed by their doctor. Respiratory treatments should be performed in a separate room away from common areas of the house when at all possible. 
Used facemasks and N95 respirators should be taken off and placed immediately in the regular trash so they don’t touch anything else. 
Avoid re-using disposable facemasks and N95 respirators if possible. If a reusable fabric facemask is used, it should be laundered with normal laundry detergent and tumble-dried in a hot dryer. 
After you take off a facemask or N95 respirator, clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. "
