The laboratorium mask

Laboratorium masks were invented during the First World War to prevent workers in laboratoria from developing too intimate relationships with each other. eventually they also extended the protection to the lower regions of the body. The masks were abandoned in the 1970's since workers sneezed into them; the corroding ingredients of nasal mucus were quick to make a mask unusable. Today, laboratorium masks are used only in oratoriums.
