Can you die of hypoxia if you run for a long time with a mask on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay safe..: Masks do not cause a lack of oxygen to get into your lungs. it may seem like it, but right now...masks are known lifesavers. so until the circumstances change...wear a mask when you need to. Think of this...if masks did cause hypoxia... think how many surgeons would be passed out in the OR.
