Not all attics are that accessible. Mine is basically an above-house crawlspace full of insulation such that you need a mask.

    It's 2024, do you not have a mask

    Requires a different type of mask, but yes, I have many masks of different types.

    And would you describe it as challenging to wear, there one or two times you would need to be in the attic for this task?

    1. You have completely missed the point of attics not always being very accessible in order to argue for no good reason.

    2. Yes, I would. The respirator type mask which you require in that environment is very stuffy and tough on someone like me who has a lung condition.

    3. It being tiny makes it more inaccessible than the need for a mask does. The opening into the attic is narrow. I can fit through it, but most Americans would not be able to. Once up there, you have to crawl. I have a medical condition affecting my muscles which makes it exceedingly difficult to crawl.

    Point is, once again, that not all attics are accessible. This isn't a discussion about masks.

    Obviously if you have medical conditions there's limitations.

    Going with "your experience doesn't count because you're a little different" is not the winning argument you might want it to be.

    When discussing a general situation, one is not obligated to write off every possible situation.

    A person without medical conditions can navigate an attic, even if tight, and requiring a mask. That's not revolutionary.
