IN THE KNOW has reported a dangerous hack for the problem of foggy eye glasses due to mask use in today's article by Morgan Greenwald. This so-called reporter is suggesting putting a strip of a Swiffer pad over the bridge of your nose... Swiffer cleaning solution contains known toxins which affect the respiratory and endocrine system, may irritate the skin, and will be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, which is a semi-permeable layer that protects our organs and bloodstream from dangers in the environment. And Lordy, our sinuses and eyes are right there. I don't know about you, but I really value my eyesight.

You post some real news on your site, but this item is irresponsible. I strongly urge you to post an apology to your human readers with some information about the potential hazards of using a chemical cleaning product on your body. Hello, remember Trump asserting the benefits of drinking Clorox bleach???

I am providing you a link to the Environmental Working Group page with the report on this product. EWG is a non-profit organization that is doing the work the EPA should be doing to let us know the relative safety of household cleaning and personal care products. I urge you to exercise discernment and ethical journalism, and share credible information that benefits everyone, not just multinational profiteers

Knowledge is power, is health, is wealth.

It is both sad and frustrating that "The Yodel" (Yahoo's daily newsletter) appears to be yet another biased media outlet for its writers or owners to present an extremely slanted (if not twisted) version of the truth to further their own political views. The Oct 2nd newsletter had the following headline:

"Melania's former friend and adviser released audio of the First Lady complaining about having to decorate for Christmas, among other things. In fact, she said, “Who gives a f*** about Christmas stuff?” Just in time for Halloween."

That is disgustingly taken out of context and anyone who listened to the full transcript knows it. Even the full article fails to mention the context in which it was said and what was meant. I don't for a second believe that your writer's are that inept and shallow to not understand this, but rather they are using this media platform as a way to spread very misleading information, that likely furthers their own political agenda. It is wrong and disgusting. I am deleting my subscription to the Yodel which I very recently subscribed to and will recommend to the 6 other people I had subscribe to delete theirs as well. This is not the first time The Yodel has present twisted, misleading, half-truths. Shame on Verizon, Yahoo, The Yodel and anyone else involved with such biased 'reporting'. This country needs leadership at ALL levels, and as a news outlet, which likely wants to be taken seriously, you have to step up and disavow yourselves from this sham reporting - indeed this 'fake news'.

Hello ITK Team,

I wanted to reach out in regards to some of the mask articles you have posted.

I started GF5 Masks Inc. after recovering from the COVID-19 that I had in January, at the time I was not aware of what COVID-19was and only after at the beginning of March I realized what I had was not a Flu. I did get the hard one and was sick for 3 weeks, I was lucky and “survived” a very nasty and scary experience.

I can say that, the recovery has been slow, shortness of breath and fatigue among other after affects. I could not go back to work due to my health and wanted to give myself time to recover, I decided that bringing PPE products would help the current situation we were in and be able to support my family.

I will say it has been some serious challenges starting this business and also very rewarding. I have been able to sell to Assisted living facilities at a time they had no product available and online to people that understood the severity and they wanted to protect themselves and their family.

In the process of buying Face masks I have been extremely careful to make sure the products I deliver have been tested and the Manufacturers are registered with the FDA. I also registered GF5 Masks Inc with the FDA as an importer/distributor.

Recently I was able to establish a good relationship with a manufacture that their main productions is supplying the raw material to manufacturers worldwide, including our American manufactures like 3M and others. They have made a production of KN95 Face masks that has been tested on June 11th 2020 by the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) with a score of Max 99.42% Effective Filtering Rate and it’s EUA NON-NIOSH white list as an approved Chinese Manufacture.

My goal has been to provide high quality PPE to my clients both online and Assisted Living Facilities, Rehab Centers and other for them to be able to protect themselves, family and others at a reasonable price.

I hope you can give me the opportunity for a review of my product to further serve the people that will need it. Please visit my website www.gf5masks.com and see the positive reviews I have from clients and our products and prices.

I will be happy to send samples of the EIMO KN95 masks for your review and I look forward to hearing from you to provide me more information.

Hello ITK Team,

I wanted to reach out in regards to some of the mask articles you have put together. I am not sure if you are familiar with Proper Cloth, but we are a custom menswear brand based out of soho. Clothing is what we do, but since the pandemic, we have taken our menswear roots and applied that to an amazing premium face mask.

At the beginning of the pandemic, we were seeing masks popping up that were not stylish, comfortable, or added any protection. We set out to make a premium product that hit all of those check marks. From the premium shirting fabrics, to the 3-layer design with antimicrobial finish, to meltblown filter. We kept menswear in mind when designing these masks, and took no shortcuts.

The masks have been selling like crazy, and we're approaching 200K sold, and 100K donated to frontline workers.

I would be more than happy to send you a few masks to test out yourself. Would love to be included in any current or upcoming mask articles you have coming up.

I can provide a lot more information about our antimicrobial finish, filter, style details, and more.
