To be fair I sometimes feel my own breathe in those masks which can be quite intoxicating.

Side note, this isn’t a real thing for regular face masks. They cannot and do not trap co2, not even close.

There are some types of heavy duty valve masks that show a barely measurable rise that’s still well within safe limits, and the anti maskers have dishonestly pointed at those studies to “prove” that their thin cloth masks are poisoning them.
Noted. You took note of that bit, and took it seriously. Roger.

That’s not co2, that’s bad breath. Now you know how it feels for others when they’re near you ;)

Honestly on this forum it’s hard to tell who’s joking and who’s a buffoon.

Spoiler:
I think I deserve a dumb answer.
You don't deserve any answer if you can't take a few minutes and read through the contradictory comments of the World Health Organisation (WHO for you), or the Center for Disease Control (CDC for you).
Talk about the new plantation!

I use the KN95 masks but their internal wire is just too small for longer European noses, so I slip a piece of electric hookup wire inside the fabric just above the internal wire and with that can fit snugly, without being too tight and keeps glasses from fogging. I don't know the gauge, just some wire I had on hand. You could find a gauge that works for you. Hope that helps.
I wish I knew a whole lot more, or a whole lot less.
