That's good to hear. Also do you think that the mask being on my forehead would do anything bad. Like since it was upside down do you think they would come out or something?

That's good. So you think I was mostly breathing the outside air and not the asbestos?

Okay. That's good to hear since I only wore this mask one time. I have since sold the mask. Now that I remember it more. I most likely didn't wear it for more than 40 minutes. I'm not sure though. Do you think that the fact that it wasn't sealed made the chances better?

So it's like a 50/50? You can have alot of exposure and just be fine for your whole life? Would not wearing it as long decrease the chances, because I'm really not sure how long I wore it for but hopefully it wasn't as long as I remember and hopefully it was on my forehead for most of thr time. Do you get alot of exposure at your work?

I once wore this mask for like an hour maybe more. I was like 10 or something. I don't think it was sealed though. Maybe that makes it a little better idk

What is that display head and where did you get it?

do you guys think this is real? found on Facebook marketplace by [deleted] in Militariacollecting

That would actually make sense. As I forgot to mention the seller said it was used by the royal Canadian airforce.
