How to Decorate a Surgical Mask
Influenza is a very contagious respiratory infection that can strike without warning. It causes irritation in your nose, throat, lungs, and bronchial tubes. Signs of the flu include major fatigue, severe body aches, and a sore throat that makes it difficult to swallow. A runny or stuffy nose is common. Most patients will also get a mild to high fever. If you have ever experienced influenza, it's an experience you will never forget. Protect yourself from this miserable virus with a surgical mask. With the risk of flu epidemics rising, surgical masks are becoming more popular. Here are ideas for decorating your surgical mask.
