Take it from me as an expert (I'm a doctor): grow a plant in your facemask, it will absorb the extra CO2. The basis for this advice is as strong as the basis for the concern.

Seeing people tweet that masks reduce oxygen intake and promote toxin inhalation makes me think of all the brave surgeons and OR nurses we lose every day to hypoxemia and CO₂ poisoning.

Seriously, thank you for the smile. (the video above is funnier -- "I am making a pro-test!" -- but this is good too, the idea of a plant growing in your humid facemask... Did I mention I once had a cousin with ear pain, and when my aunt took him in, it turns out a pea had sprouted from a peashooter someone at school aimed at his eat and hit the target?... If growing plants in your mask were feasible and beneficial, you know somebody would be on that!  Maybe... edible sprouts?)
