Warning: No one is immune from contracting an asbestos related disease, particularly mesothelioma asbestos cancer, which which can be contracted as a result of extremely low levels of exposure to asbestos fibres/dust.  If you are feeling unwell, It is particularly important to tell your medical practitioner If you have been exposed to, or think you may have been exposed to asbestos fibres/dust. This is particularly important if you have a shortness of breath or a sudden onset of shortness of breath, a persistent cough, ache or swelling in the chest, in the back around the lower shoulder blade area, stomach or groin that cannot be explained by everyday ailments.  If you don’t, they may not think to look for, or completely overlook the possibility you may have an asbestos related disease.
