Hi All
Yes exposure to asbestos has very different outcomes and is a bit of a lottery. My father was an apprentice at ICI in the late 40s and it is believed this is where he picked up the asbestos which was later to cause his cancer. He also “picked up” my mother who was working at ICI as a “Monkey muckers mate”, a job entailing mixing the asbestos filled Paste to lag the extensive pipe work. My father died before his 82nd birthday, my mother continued on and died aged 92 with no asbestos related symptoms.
Cheers
Howard
