Due to the spread of Covid infections, there has been a new squeeze on the masks. This measure has sparked debate about whether these can harm health under certain conditions.
Speaking of which, an American health expert’s post causes a sensation. A doctor raises the alarm for possible health risks with the use of masks. However, many other doctors argue that the risks feared in using them are actually false. Let’s try to understand more.
Hypoxia and hypercapnia
One of the criticisms of the mask is that it induces less oxygenation. It is one of the reasons that pushes athletes not to wear it. Lack of oxygen while wearing the mask is just a sensation.
Regular masks do not cause hypoxia if worn well. Hypoxia is the lack of oxygen in the blood, but it is not induced by any type of mask.
Another accusation to the mask is that if it is worn for a long time, especially in conditions of physical exertion, it favors a beginning of intoxication by carbon dioxide. Hypercapnia is the presence of an excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. A problem that no mask can bring.
The only possibility of an early blood poisoning from excess carbon dioxide is that the mask is hermetically sealed around the mouth. An event that is practically impossible to happen if the mask is used correctly.
A doctor raises the alarm for possible health risks with the use of masks
Equally false is the news, often circulated on the Internet, that the mask can damage the immune system. It is clearly fake news. An urban legend born in social networks, to accredit the movements of thought against facial protection.
But then, is there really no danger in wearing a mask? Not all doctors think so. Dr. Russel Blaylock, author and health expert, believes that we can take risks if we wear the mask for a long time. He openly supports it in a post, on an American blog, entitled: The mask creates serious health risks.
Dr. Blaylock believes that prolonged use of masks can lead to hypercapnia, headaches, and respiratory failure. The news of the post, taken up in June, also appears in a major national newspaper.
