A year ago, we were introduced to wearing a face mask, and now it’s something we can’t leave the house without. But did you ever stop to think, what is on them and can it make you sick? 

J&J vaccine: Side effects and what to expect from the one-dose COVID-19 shot

“I think it’s a worthwhile and interesting question because we are wearing these masks all the time,” said Dr. Anna McLoon, Ph.D. Research Scientist and Assistant Professor at Siena College.

Face masks have been the symbol of the pandemic. They help protect you and others from COVID-19. But how dirty do masks get if you don’t wash them regularly? Dr. Anna McLoon helped NEWS10 with a little experiment at Siena College to answer what types of bacteria you could be carrying around.

Comparing COVID-19 vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson

NEWS10 collected masks from some of our staff members. 

“We live in a microbial world and we are interacting with microbes all the time. Whether we know it or not, they are a part of us and it’s not something we need to be scared of,” said Dr. McLoon. 

During the experiment, three masks were collected and tested. Two were cloth masks and one was a disposable mask.

Wuxi Dongfeng Yihe Technology Development Co., Ltd.  is an innovative medical technology company. We provide all types of masks.
