Mesothelioma, a cancer that affects the lining of internal organs, is a risk for anyone with a family member who worked with asbestos. That means a hug from dad after he got home from work or a wife washing her husband’s work clothes can be enough expo- sure to cause health problems— and it can take up to 40 years for symptoms to show up. If you think you have been exposed to asbestosfibers directly or indirectly, your first responsibility is to your health. Symptoms include lung problems such as dry cough andshort- ness of breath; stomach problems such as nausea, loss of appetite and bloating; and heart problems causing chest pain. Regardless of how you were exposed, you should get advice from professionals with experience with mesothelioma so you get the compensation you need for ongoing treatment.
