Respirator for Resin Printing? - eviltoast

I started resin printing and I am wondering if you guys use a full on resperator (if so is their a specific classification you’d recommend?) Or do you just use a cloth / surgical mask?

So far I have been using the mask that came with my printer (Elegoo mars 3 pro) but and not sure if that is sufficient.

    You should be using gloves anytime you are working with liquid resin. Skin contact with resin can cause/worsen a resin allergy over time. I’ve read accounts of people unable to be in the same room as an open bottle of resin because their allergy got so bad. Uncured resin is highly highly toxic
