It always amazes me that for every type of potentially hazardous substance or situation there will be people state 'Everything I've read' or 'From my own research' and the downplay or dismiss the concern.

There are a LOT of people that have worked with asbestos that went on to develop severe lung disease.

I feel very disappointed in many of people commenting here. Because it looks like - as long as I'm not the one hurt, who cares that it's their health and life at risk.

As long as I can have my stuff cheap.
