Carolyn B asked:


2 people in my family who lived in the house died from cancer and now 1 new person who lives them were diagnosed with cancer. The house is over 100yrs old so the chances of asbestos is there.

   For very expensive and lengthy method of elimination maybe move.

   The microscopic fibers stay encased in city and just paint keeps this generally if.

   it’s not necessary asbestos, unless they all have lung cancer
   check if your water pipes are old (lead), if there is mildew (in heating vents, behind wall panels), if you have peeling lead paint, or if your house was built on or close to a waste deposit

   DIY: which rooms did they frequent most? did they eat fruit from the garden? what else connects them in their habits?
