A(H1N1)

With the increase of influenza A(H1N1) deaths in my home country, wearing mask is showing no further signs of good news, everyday we have A(H1N1) related deaths, at least 5 person are dead due to A(H1N1) everyday..

since A(H1N1) is a biological virus, and thus considered as a biological threat.. normal face mask will not prevent you from contracting the virus... I believed we have to get this one....... FM12 respirator...
