Do coronavirus masks fog up your glasses?
I’m a faithful mask wearer – and I’m not about to change that – but every time I strap one on, it’s like I’m in the front row at a Kiss concert and somebody has just turned on the fog machine.
Frankly, I feel like I am having a bigger problem than other people. One day last week, I forgot to take my mask off after an interview. I got into my car, turned the AC on “max” and immediately went fog blind. I clawed my glasses off just in time, as the beeper on my car signaled I was about to back into a dumpster.
When this happens, I’m talking bad, blinding fog. Like when you open the dishwasher in the middle of the wash cycle to add a fork and a blast of steam hits you in the face. Or maybe when somebody tries to mace you with a can of Pam. (OK, maybe that doesn’t happen to you. But, boy, if it did …)
It could just be me. Maybe my breath is unnaturally moist, or maybe I’m just not doing the mask thing right.
