OMG that looks epic. When it's all sorted will be so cool. Clicked a coronavirus link and page not found but am sure it'll be great. Have bookmarked it for future postings. I think my fb is going downhill now too. Feeling a bit shadowbanned. Glad I've got this place to play in now.
This mask was designed to fight against the Miasma theory. This theory of disease believed that people got sick from “bad air”, and so what this mask’s long nose was designed to do was the wearers would put pleasant smelling herbs and light then on fire to prevent Miasma from being inhaled by the wearer by “cleansing” the “bad air”.
The mask had glass openings in the eyes and a curved beak shaped like a bird’s beak with straps that held the beak in front of the doctor’s nose. The mask had two small nose holes and was a type of respirator which contained aromatic items. The beak could hold dried flowers (including roses and carnations), herbs (including mint), spices, camphor, or a vinegar sponge. The purpose of the mask was to keep away bad smells, known as miasma, which were thought to be the principal cause of the disease, before it was disproved by germ theory. Doctors believed the herbs would counter the “evil” smells of the plague and prevent them from becoming infected.
LOL they weren't far off with this notion actually there was definitely something in the air. There were reports of volcanic eruptions at the time and lots of witnesses to noxious smelling 'mists' which killed plants/crops and animals. If anything this old mask might have worked better than the pathetic face nappies they wear now against pollution in China etc.
Here is my lol for the day, an account that has muted me and thinks I'm a moron, has reposted one of my posts on another account, and I have a whale who upvotes one of my accounts and downvotes another.
Hahahahaha sounds like someone with more time on their hands than sense in their bonce. Why don't you have a word? Is the mute thing same as blocking on FB?
As if I would suggest that, Am I mad or insane? The latter as most people believe the LIARS, so I am insane :-)
