The use of a mask can be helpful in avoiding allergens and irritants for both types of rhinitis. Many individuals who suffer from allergic rhinitis are affected by tree pollen in the spring and grass pollen in the summer. It is impossible to avoid these triggers completely, largely because individuals rarely want to stay cooped up inside during these seasons. Thankfully, however, using a mask while participating in gardening, yard work, and mowing can greatly reduce nasal exposure to pollen.

Similarly, a nonallergic rhinitis patient may not always be able to avoid irritants that trigger indoor symptoms. Wearing a mask in the presence of dust, smoke, or strong chemicals can help prevent flare-ups of nasal symptoms. Some masks are made with filters, and others are made with tightly woven cloth. Choosing the right mask may depend on the severity of symptoms and chosen activities.
