A member asked:

Exposed to asbestos in old house. i was in there for 2-3 hours with no respirator, it was closed down because of asbestos problem. will this have a negative effect on me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: A very short term exposure like that is very unlikely to cause any problems. You need longer exposure over time or a massive one time exposure for damage to occur. Glad you got out of there!
