It's scary. No wonder there are so many advertisements now, mesothelioma asbestos lawyers, and awareness days. I don't think the public really knows how dangerous exposure is, and I don't know if there is going to be a good way to raise that awareness since the diseases aren't a prominent as other cancers that are in the media time and time again.
