Oh for fuck sake is this another thing you have to wear a mask for?

My fucking dad I swear to god. He knows I got asthma. He had me install insulation as a kid and remove asbestos. I got fucking tinnitus from him giving me a drill and neither of us wearing hearing protection.

    Mineral wool is quite safe. Some of the old stuff (pre-1960s) had asbestos or problems with being flammable but the new stuff gets checked for size and how much fiber goes into the air and so on (the answer is very little). Like paint it is one of the things that harmed people and science and regulation got us better products.

    That dude's hands are gonna itch though.
