I know a few people who still wear surgical masks outside when the pollen levels are high because it helps with allergies. Not perfect, but the masks reduce enough of the pollen breathed in to be helpful without the sweating problems from n95 masks.

Yeah, I moved from the US to Europe in 2021 and wore a mask daily everywhere outside of my bedroom (I had eight housemates, including a very nutso Q person, who was trying to get covid to hasten his natural immunity and who did not shower for the ten months we lived together- he was the second worst roommate) until probably June of 2022. It wasn’t until then that I realized I have allergies to things that grow on this continent that I never encountered at home.
