One of my dads friends had a business installing asbestos siding in the 1960's. He's in his 80's and seems fine. On the other hand his wife died of mesothelioma 20 years ago.
- verelo 6y agoMy father worked delivering asbestos, every one of his co-workers that did front line deliveries are dead, mostly lung health related issues seemingly related to asbestos. My dad is in his 60's and fine so far.

- noctune 6y agoMy uncle spent some weeks doing DIY projects with asbestos. Hes has mesothelioma now. Turns out he has (along with many in our family) a genetic disorder that makes certain cancers like mesothelioma much more likely.
