/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It's like few informed people say:it's the people that were in heavy contact with it for years and years.

Think of all the renovations and work with asbestos products over the decades before it was found to be 'bad'. All the tiles and tabletops, shingles, wall panels, etc. And the lead paint, all the sanding and scraping.

And those people lived to old age.

It's dudes that worked in factories or with raw asbestos day in day out.

Look at the woman casually handling it barehanded. Today she'd fall over dead by modern standards. The scientists just casually handling and testing it.
