I actually have the opposite experience with my exercise-induced asthma.
It's quite dry and cold where I am currently, due to winter. Wearing a cloth mask increases the temperature and humidity of the air I breathe when working hard, and makes it less likely that asthma will be triggered.
It's a significant enough effect that I will sometimes wear a cloth mask specifically for this effect when doing something strenuous outdoors.
- aidenn0 5y agoThat would probably be true if we lived somewhere with actual winters. My daughter's PE class is in the afternoon, and the lowest high-temperature we've had all winter is 63.
- margalabargala 5y agoGotcha, that makes sense. The high today for me was 28.
- andreareina 5y agoDidn't think about that, and I did sometimes put the mask on outside for comfort!
