Nonexistent Warning: Asbestos is dangerous to your health.

Earlier in this century, Asbestos was widely used for various industrial purposes. Unbenknownst to the workers, this substance would one day lead them to their deaths. While many uses of asbestos has already been banned in many countries, the aftereffects of the usage of it in earlier years aren't completely gone.

Mesothelioma is a cancer most commonly diagnosed in people of have been exposed to asbestos earlier in their life, mostly due to their working circumstances. It targets the mesothelium, a membrane that covers and protects most of our internal organs. After this, it quickly spreads to the organs themselves, most commonly, the lungs and the liver. This cancer is very difficult to detect in its early stages and is only detected usually only when the cancer is already in a very serious stage. People who are diagnosed with Mesothelioma are usually told that they probably have only one more year to live.

There is also another disease caused by asbestos exposure called asbestosis. While this disease is not related to and will not lead to cancer, it is still a serious condition as it affects the lungs of the person.

Quite a number of families are affected emotionally because of a loved one being diagnosed with the abovementioned conditions. If not for their being exposed to asbestos, their lives may have been very different. They should therefore fight for what could have been and assert their rights as victims.
