Allergy Relief: The Nose Mask Pit
May 1st 2008 by Dr.MOZ in Strange Products, Family Health
Here’s an interesting Japanese invention for all the allergy sufferers out there. The Nose Mask Pit from Japan-based Bio International filters the pollens that would eventually enter your body by blocking them in your nostrils! I’m not sure what would happen if you actually did sneeze with the Nose Mask Pit in place, but it could be worth a try because a package including disposable filters and one nearly invisible frame can be purchased for only $14 (1,480 Yen) at bio-pit.com.
I’m not sure if they have distributors in North America yet, but click on the comment bubble above to share your source if you’ve seen them in the US or Canada.
See you on Friday!

Looks a little strange, but I’d try anything at this point.

That’s an ingenious solution for short exposure periods. It will need practice though to get used to it.
