Ironically, 3/4 of all produce grown in the US is used to feed cattle. Pretty wild the amount of resources required for beef production, yet burgers are still on dollar menus!
In the specific situation of Dairies, you can’t keep things from getting wet. Everything is constantly getting sprayed down will water/cleaning solutions.
While I’m not a very good comrade when it comes to Animal Rights and Veganism, I tend towards agreeing with the idea that large animal operations probably should be scaled way back if not stopped completely.
Yea this right here. Regular masks are completely ineffective when wet, and loads of agricultural work/animal work/food processing work happens in wet environnents.
Could do full-mask respirators? Incorporates the goggles into the mask, and the filters should be okay unless you’re like spraying water directly into the intakes.
The Catch-22 might be that this moves the PPE from disposable one use items and things simple enough to easily sanitize into items that need to torn down to sanitize all the nooks and crannies.
>There’s also the fact that protective gear is not ideal for hot working conditions such as milking parlors. “These workers have these fogged goggles all the time, which actually predisposes them to injuries,” said Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. “N95 [masks] aren’t necessarily working well when they get wet.”
Tailoring the PPE to the job is going to be difficult.
Let’s stop drinking milk tbh, oat milk and soy milk are delicious. This shit (factory animal farms) keeps killing us.
Dairy farms are part of the reason why E.coli and listeria outbreaks on produce keep happening too.
~73% of all antibiotics annually are used for animal agriculture. Meaning both dairy and meat production are massive drivers of antibiotic resistance.
Yuppp
I can’t have my lettuce bc someone needs beef and milk.
Good God I hope the unsubsidize them soon.

We can either eat what they’re eating (soy) or use the land that grows the shit that they eat
B-b-b-bUt We DoN’t HaVe WeT mArKeTs!

Do ventilators filter exhalation?
Not all of them, but some do.
Fancier ones can have flutter valves that do that, like the dust masks with disposable filter cartridges.

I used to work at a brewery and this is indeed kinda a thing, unfortunately.
