Hanging a sweaty bandana off of my chin isn't quite the same thing. Would those types fall into the "mask wearing" category for any of the studies? I'd guess "yes" on that part.

I'll just keep plugging along, doing things my way. Wearing a mask doesn't bother me, and it certainly shouldn't bother anyone else that I wear it.
