A member asked:
I think i was exposed to asbestos while drilling some holes during a renovation for three days. should i be worried?

No: The kind of exposure that made people sick in the old days was massive. Plus, worrying will accomplish nothing. Try to avoid the stuff and wear a mask if you're going to stay on this project.
