would wetting the tee shirt help it filter/catch more pollen?

(only time a wet tee shirt wasn't part of a good night!)

the only place it would help is where breathing occurred as it would help
take up some of the space between fibers but on the flip side it would make it tougher to breath..

i usually save my oldest most softest T-shirts for this task...the ones that have seen 50-100 washes and have shrunk to small anyways.

the smaller hospital style masks have fastly improved in design and quality so i would recommend using them backed up by a T-shirt
to cover the edges of those cheap masks.... which i think work good but are not perfect

it makes a big difference however if you have a full beard or are clean shaven as to what feels the best on your face.


it looks like we are nearing the END of the major pollen bloom .........at least in my neck of the woods.

Wishing I read Raven's post before trimming the shrubs today. I was amazed at the amount of pollen billowing from those bushes.
