I agree that safety should always be a priority, but at the same time, it's unhealthy to worry about a past event that likely had little-to-no actual detrimental effect. | |
| Jul 24, 2013 at 1:11 | comment | added | bcworkz | @DA01 - you are technically correct, but it is a dangerous and misleading statement. It is NEVER OK to expose one's self to asbestos fibers, even for one DIY job. Prolonged occupational exposure does dramatically increase the likelihood of developing a related illness. But a single fiber embedded in lung tissue has the potential to develop into an illness, a risk no one should take despite the very long odds. | |
