RE: Hiking to Neuschwanstein Castle

We couldn't go into the courtyard because we didn't have the proper covid masks. In Bavaria at that time they required you to wear the FFP2 masks in every hotel, restaurant and venue and we only had our reusable cloth ones.

At least maybe those are useful. Nowadays most people in my country (Hungary) wear disposable masks. And as I heard, these masks can do more bad than good.

Sort:  

these masks can do more bad than good.

That could be? I don't know the differences in efficiency and all that between the different types of masks.

That could be?

Yes. At least according to ScienceDaily, "Scientists have uncovered potentially dangerous chemical pollutants that are released from disposable face masks when submerged in water. The research reveals high levels of pollutants, including lead, antimony, and copper, within the silicon-based and plastic fibres of common disposable face masks".

Well that's rather alarming. Thanks for sharing that with me.
