22. Just FYI, I found wearing my mask higher up on my nose cut down on the fogging.

I have high cheekbones and large glasses so already have problem with sweating under my eyes. When I wear a mask midway on my nose, my glasses immediately fog up and I'm nearly blind without them. I was determined to find a way that worked and when I pulled it up higher on my head with the strings, it worked, no fogging. I had 1 N95 mask, but I couldn't see it fogged so bad. Wish I could wear contacts and avoid this problem.
