@JCX96NICE trow your clothes away! and calm down, you are not the only one. Long exposures are dangerous

but better avoid than cure

The white asbestos, which has been mainly used, isn't nearly as bad as the blue asbestos. Also getting a disease from asbestos is a numbers game - the more you are exposed to it, the greater your chance of getting an asbestos related disease... So you won't get sick just from being exposed to it once or twice.

@ozwasp brown is the worst. it's the right size. and it's thicker.

Also, white fiberous is found in talc. talc is used in talcum powder. but talcum powder seals it inside, or, ...err... well im not sure if that's bad or not.

Additional Note! All Asbestos is outlawed in Europe. Only brown Asbestos is illegal in the US. So take a deep breath because you just inhaled it.

@FarceTheory in the u.s. ALL asbestos is banned in UK, NZ and AUS

@xXJeeXTeeXAyeXmanXx

That’s very nice with those country’s!

But what about the US of A

If you researched it. Not all type’s of asbestos is illegal witch is sad.

[xXJeeXTeeXAyeXmanXx]

@FarceTheory ALL asbestos, (white only recently) has been banned. And, yes in fact not to sound like a smart arse, I have been researching Asbestos, Talc, Talcum, Chlorine(*most forms), Chloroform, CO2, KO8, Sulphur, Nickel Cadmium and fluorite.
