Wearing a face mask?

I'm going to be trying Gilenya and I know like most MS meds it will lower my immune system. Should I wear a face mask? Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

Thank you I plan on taking supplements and being cautious too.

I am using a facemask (the disposable king) in Kathmandu and on Nepali public transport as I feel I do not need unneccessary dust/pollution/TB etc. Not sure how effective it is or does it make me feel better doing it. It sure fogs up my specs when I exhale and takes some getting used to. I imagine it is the environment you are in which will be the main determinant. A friend had HSCT in Jan/Feb and was told to wear one when they left the house for about 3-4 months.
