Studies have tied acute exposure to deleterious effects, asbestos just takes 10-40 years to kill you. That means it used to not really matter if you were 30+ because by that point you were going to die from smoking, drinking, and a 1950's American diet. People live longer now.

It is not like smoking because inhalation of tobacco smoke constituents have removal pathways. Carcinogenic asbestos fibers stay in your lungs and cultivate cancer for 10-40 years until they kill you.

Do I just say, ~"common sense" like you did?

The onus is on you to provide evidence that acute exposure to asbestos is safe, per your initial comment. Hence my request for a source for your claim.

Thank you random person on the internet! I did my doctoral thesis on this very topic and you are wrong.

Without a link to a credible source it's just an unsubstantiated comment.

Do you have a source indicating that acute exposure to asbestos is "not too detrimental"?

I am interested in researching that further because it goes against pretty much everything I've heard and read. It might not be that bad for the elderly as they will generally die before complications, but for everyone else...

It looks like a deliciously simple stir fry! Try adding mushrooms and jalapenos to this recipe: https://thewoksoflife.com/beef-and-pepper-stir-fry/

Mr. Potter, please restrain yourself!

Because people used to be skinnier then and drug addicts tend to be more gaunt as well.

Don't forget all the data being mined about you.
