Two weeks ago I was ridding my yard of leaves and pollen with my rear bagging lawn mower. Due to the way that machine keeps me in a cloud of dust, I wore a simple construction dust mask. Breathing through it while working in the yard was like breathing through a snorkel with forced breathing the entire time. I got quite a lung exercise out of it, but at least my nasal passages were clean.
