I wanted to put this question on the rec to find out if anyone has
been experiencing the same issue with the 3M 8511, N95 dusk mask for
woodworking & sanding. Over the past couple of months I have been
working in the garage alot and wearing the dusk mask mentioned above.
During this time period I have been experiencing an irritation in my
troat. The feeling I get is like I have a dry spot on my throat that
doesn't go away after I drink alot of water. I stopped wearing the
mask for a couple of days and the symptoms went away. Just today I
had to sand something and I put the dust mask on for 30 minutes or so.
Sure enough I had the same symptoms again.

Does anyone else have the same issues with this dusk mask?
