Mesothelioma

Steve McQueen and Warren Zevon both died of mesothelioma. Its only known cause is exposure to asbestos. Both had worked with asbestos at blue-collar jobs, early in their careers.

Was the asbestos being worked on? It's most dangerous when it gets messed with and the particles go airborne. If it was just sitting there, you're probably okay.

It was just there, but you'd occasionally bump it, scattering it a bit... I wore a mask after it got on me once. Itches a bit.

I'd guess you'll be okay.
