dont fuck with asbestos.
one of the key reasons i left the glamorous world of plumbing was the exposure to this stuff and just how much of it is kicking around everywhere. I've done asbestos removals before with apparently all the regs being followed but still felt entirely uncomfortable with the situation. Not just for myself either, the fact that you'll leave these fibres sitting around everywhere you worked on it and cant really do much about it is pretty frightening.
you're unlikely to develop the shorter term killer - asbestosis - from a single renovation. that takes a lot of exposure and kills you by scarring the lung tissue so they work work properly. similar deal to silicosis.
the really fun one is mesothelioma, where a few fibres can cause cancer 30+ years down the track that is almost 100% fatal once detected. yay!
I'm possibly more worried about it than i should be, but the shit gives me the willies more than spiders, snakes, and frankston combined. something about slowly dying gasping for air just doesn't sit well with me, i like breathing.
