You shouldn't have to worry about any of the masks having Latex in them. All of the masks I've ever looked up are stated to be "Latex Free". These masks are made with silicone.

Is all of this occurring when you're in the house? What about being outside?.....does it continue or go away?

both Den, i have awoke and had to sneeze in my mask(very seldom) .. it does not seem to have a pattern or logic as to what triggers episodes. i have even had sneezing fits while on the bike- now that's scary...think i'll go outside and fireup the mower and mulch a few more leaves,with a dust mask of course..

Maybe you've become allergic to.......yourself..... LOL

Something interesting with me lately is that I've been having some sneezing spells, too. It's almost like I've been trying to come down with a cold or something, but it never really manifests itself into the full-blown thing.
And, thinking back......there were many, many mornings (it was almost a ritual) over the past few years.....about 20 minutes after I'd get up, my sinuses would start draining (like a faucet)......just like clockwork. I can't remember when it stopped but it would happen regularly. Maybe that's why I'm sneezing......my sinuses aren't draining like that anymore.
