Considering that they have to get into crawlspaces with asbestos filled insulation, drill holes in asbestos filled drywall, flooring and ceiling tiles, and handle asbestos coated wiring/boxes. Are electricians still at a high risk of developing mesothelioma? And what of their family members, and anyone else who occupies the same residence with them?
Or does the industry have proper safeguards in place nowadays?

I looked at a rental home today, it looked REALLY old. I spent about 20 minutes inside and started to feel asthma symptoms. The ceiling was a drop-panel ceiling (some of the panels had cracks) and the basement smelled so musty and gross that I almost had to hold my breath. There was what appeared to be pink insulation laying in a pile on the floor in the basement. Might I have gotten asbestos poisoning from being in there?
Between Kindergarten and 2nd grade (I’m in my 1st yr of college now) I was in a school that had asbestos ceiling panels/insulation as well as those cancer-causing PCB fluorescent lights. Honestly, what are my odds of contracting something nasty like Mesothelioma? Granted, I know the asbestos was undisturbed, but still, what are the odds? And please tell me how certain you are of them.
Thank you.
BTW the school district was sued for its endangerment of youth back in the mid 90′s, and cleaned up its act since.
I developed a severe sore throat after cutting through some insulation from an old store. I decided to see a doctor about this because it was unusual for me to have one. When I went I told him that the insulation might have been the cause of my sore throat. The Doctor replied well thats not the cause, it is either bacterial or viral. He performed some tests on me and both the test came back negative for both. That was it, I went home without answers to the reason. I was thinking it might have been asbestos related. I am just not the same lately my sore throats come back, I have dry mouth constantly, and excess phlem with blood. I would appreciate anyones answers for the possible cause of these symptoms. Thank You!
