I masked for years when I was working around toxic dust, when none of my coworkers did and many of them teased me about it. Some of them now have weird miner lung diseases. This is not from West Virginia in the 30's, this is from a job at a hipster company featured in Martha Stewart's magazine. I started working there in 2008.
I am absolutely used to catching shit for being the only person in the room masked against the thing that is killing us.
