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.

I did not know that!

I lived in a house with asbestos siding when in Colorado with my then three year old kid. I believed them when they said that is would be more dangerous to remove it than to live with it. We lost the house in an unexpected military move. I suppose I should be glad?
