Wearing dust masks to clip

[mitchellk]

Just wandering if I am the only one who turns up to clipping jobs looking like a relative of Darth Vader!
Found it makes clipping much more bareable, thought i might share!

no, but my friend has to wear one when doing haynets.

Was talking to my local GP when I last popped in for check up and she said it really is advisable to wear one. The tiny hairs cause splinters and get stuck in the wind pipe, so thought I ought to start to wear one as I clip about ten horses a week!

Add to that a pair of goggles to stop the hair going in my eyes!

Ear plugs?!

My dad always tells me to wear one, as he always wears one to muck his racing pigeons out, but i just found it really uncomfortable.

I have started wearing a mask to muck out, I had a really bad dust reaction back in the summer. They are really uncomfortable though and possibly the most unflattering thing to wear in the universe.

I use one of those cheapo ones. Works a treat, although I find my mouth gets hot!! At least it stops those horrid hairs pricking and clogging the back of my throat up all day though.
