Do you know the origin and development of masks?

Disposable mask has a certain filtering effect on the air that enters the lungs. When the respiratory tract infectious disease is prevalent, when working in a polluted environment such as dust, wearing a mask has a very good effect.

The first mask in the world was China. In ancient times, when people encountered pollution and dust, they only knew to cover their mouth and nose with their hands or sleeves. Covering your nose with your hands or sleeves is very unhygienic and inconvenient to do other things. Later, someone used a silk cloth to cover your nose and nose. The silk cloth covering the nose and mouth like this is the original mask.

Mask Development History:

The first mask in the world was China. In ancient times, people in the palace began to cover their noses and noses with silk scarves to prevent dust and breath pollution. It was not until the 19th century that masks were invented and began to be used in the medical field. Disposable mask now it has become an indispensable item in people's lives, and it is no longer just dust or breath, but is often used to block germs.

In the early 13th century, masks only appeared in the Chinese court. In order to prevent the breath from reaching the emperor's food, the waiter used a silk and gold thread to make a mask

At the end of the 19th century, masks began to be used in the field of medical care. German pathologist Ledch began to recommend medical staff to use gauze hoods to prevent bacterial infections

In the early 20th century, masks became a must-have for the masses for the first time. The Spanish flu that has swept the world has claimed the lives of about 50 million people, and ordinary people are required to use masks to protect against the virus

In the middle and late 20th century, masks were used frequently on a large scale. The masks in the history of major influenza have played an important role in preventing and blocking the spread of germs.

In 1897, the German Medici introduced to everyone a method of covering the nose and mouth with gauze to prevent bacteria from invading. Later, someone made a six-layer gauze mask and sewed it on the collar. Just turn it over and cover your nose and mouth. However, this mask has to be held by hand all the time, which is extremely inconvenient. Later, someone came up with a strap to wear on the ear, which became the mask that people often use today.

In 2003, the infection of atypical pneumonia occurred in China, and the mask reached its peak here.

In 2003, the use and popularity of masks reached a new climax. A SARS almost made the masks out of stock. A long line of patrols were held in front of major drugstores, and people scrambled to buy masks.

In 2009, following the "Avian Influenza" in 2004, "Influenza A H1N1 Influenza" made the army of masks appear again in front of the world's major news media.
